General Information for Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is available in a number of grades, which can be divided into five basic categories: austenitic, ferritic, duplex, martensitic, and precipitation Hardening.
Austenitic and ferritic grades are most commonly used, accounting for 95% of stainless steel applications, with type 1.4307 (304L) being the most commonly specified grade.
