APPLICATIONS

SS 301
An austenitic stainless steel, which because of its ability to attain high strength
and ductility through moderate or serve cold working, can be used for
automobile trims, conveyor belts, transportation cars such as railway coaches,
metal fixtures for construction purposes, roof drainage products, strong door
frames and tableware.

SS 304
It is the most widely used austenitic stainless steel. Popularly known as 18/8
stainless steel, it has excellent corrosion resistance and forming
characteristics. Used in chemical, petrochemical and fertilizer industries, and
as equipment in dairy, food processing, pharmaceutical industries, in hospitals,
households as kitchenware, cryogenic vessels and as heat exchangers in air
conditioning refrigeration, for machinery in paper, pulp and textile beverage
sectors.

SS 304L
An austenitic stainless steel similar to SS 304 with less carbon (0.03% max). It
used in place of SS304 for improved resistance to intergranular corrosion. It is
used for parts and structures which cannot be heat treated for stress relieving
after welding.

SS 309/ SS 309S
There are austenitic stainless steels which are strong and tough. Because of
their higher nickel and chromium content, these are used for applications
requiring high scaling resistance. They find their use for air heaters, annealing
boxes, Chemical Composition oven equipment, boiler baffle plates carburising
boxes, chemical processing equipment, dryers, exhaust manifolds, furnace
parts, gas turbine parts, heat exchangers, jet engine parts, oil burner parts,
oven equipment, petroleum refining equipment, etc.

SS 310/SS 310S
These are austenitic types with higher chromium and nickel content than
309/309S. Because of their relatively high creep strength and mechanical
properties at higher temperatures these steels find their applications for higher
temperatures and severe service conditions. Used for air heaters annealing
boxes, ovens carurising boxes, fire box sheets, furnace linings, furnace stacks
and dampers, gas turbine parts, heat exchangers, kiln linings, nozzle
diaphragm assemblies for turbo jet engines, oil burners parts, paper mill
equipment, oil refinery equipment, recuperates and so on.

SS 317 / SS317L
These are austenitic stainless steels which are modifications of type SS 316 /
SS 316L and offer increased chromium, nickel and molybdenum ranges for
improved corrosion. resistance. The steels were developed to resist attack of
sumptuous acid compounds. They resist pitting in phosphoric and acetic acids.
Applications includes paper pulp handling equipment, process equipment for
producing photographic chemicals, bleaching solutions and handling
sulphurous, acetic, formic, citric and tartaric acids. They have best corrosion.
resistance to body acids and blood and are recommended for surgical bone
applications.

Product
SS 321
An austenitic stainless steel similar to SS 304 but stabilised with titanium to
avoid inter-granular corrosion. Type SS 321 resists scaling and vibration
fatigue. It is used for aircraft exhaust stacks and manifolds, pressure vessels,
large mufflers for diesel engines, carburetors, expansions belows, stack liners,
fire walls, etc.

Product
SS 347
An austenitic stainless steel similar to SS 321 but stablilised by Columbium
which does not appreciably reduce the overall corrosion. resistance.
Recommended in the range of 420 Degree Centigrade to 900 Degree
Centigrade for parts fabricated by welding and which cannot be subsequently
annealed. Applications include airplane exhaust stacks, welded tanks for
chemicals, heat resistors, jet engine parts, expansions bellows, etc.

SS 409
It is the lowest alloyed straight Chromium ferritic stainless steel. It replaces
carbon steels where some amount of heat or corrosion. resistance and higher
strength are required and where appearances secondary. It is used for fins in
heater tubes, transformer and capacitor cases, dry fertilizer spreaders,
automotive exhaust systems including mufflers, resonators, silencers, pipes
and emission control units, high pressure agricultural spray tanks, culverts,
shipping containers and firm equipment.

SS 410/410S
SS 410 is the most commonly used 12% Chromium martens tic stainless steel.
Excellent combination of toughness and strength can be developed through
proper heat treatment. This steel has better corrosion. resistance in the
hardened condition. It is a good choice when good formability and high
strength are required and the end use demands resistance to mildly corrosive
environment. It is used for furnace parts and burners operating below 650
Degree Centigrade, micrometer parts, tray supports, caps and vaporizers in
petroleum fractionating towers, lining for reaction chambers, coal screens,
fishing tickles, keys, lamp brackets, rules and tapes, wall screens, steam
turbine buckets, blades, bucket covers, pump parts, petrochemical equipment
and press plates. Type SS410 S is a low carbon modification of SS 410.
