  2. SAE 316L stainless steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_316L_stainless_steel

    SAE 316L grade stainless steel, sometimes referred to as A4 stainless steel or marine grade stainless steel, is the second most common austenitic stainless steel after 304/A2 stainless steel. Its primary alloying constituents after iron , are chromium (between 16–18%), nickel (10–12%) and molybdenum (2–3%), up to 2% manganese , [ 1 ] with ...

  3. SAE steel grades - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_steel_grades

    Type 316—the second most common grade (after 304); for food and surgical stainless steel uses; alloy addition of molybdenum prevents specific forms of corrosion. It is also known as marine grade stainless steel due to its increased resistance to chloride corrosion compared to type 304. 316 is often used for building nuclear reprocessing plants.

  4. AL-6XN - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AL-6XN

    This metal is commonly used instead of 300 series stainless steels in high temperature and low pH applications in food processing. For example, tomato juice will corrode 316L stainless steel at pasteurization temperatures of 100 °C (210 °F). AL-6XN will better resist this corrosion while still offering the beneficial properties of stainless ...

  5. Austenitic stainless steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austenitic_stainless_steel

    300 series stainless steels are the larger subgroup. The most common austenitic stainless steel and most common of all stainless steel is Type 304, also known as 18/8 or A2. Type 304 is extensively used in such items as cookware, cutlery, and kitchen equipment. Type 316, also known as A4, is the next most common austenitic stainless steel. Some ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stainless_steel

    Stainless steel, also known as inox, corrosion-resistant steel (CRES), and rustless steel, is an alloy of iron that is resistant to rusting and corrosion. It contains iron with chromium and other elements such as molybdenum , carbon , nickel and nitrogen depending on its specific use and cost.

  7. Unified numbering system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_numbering_system

    UNS K11547 is T2 tool steel; UNS S17400 is ASTM grade 630, Cr-Ni 17-4PH precipitation hardened stainless steel; UNS S30400 is SAE 304, Cr/Ni 18/10, Euronorm 1.4301 stainless steel; UNS S31600 is SAE 316; UNS S31603 is 316L, a low carbon version of 316. The digits "03" were assigned since the maximum allowed carbon content is 0.03%; UNS C90300 ...

  8. Surface chemistry of cooking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_chemistry_of_cooking

    Stainless steel is considered stainless because it has at least 11% chromium by mass. Chromium is a relatively inert metal and does not rust or react as easily as plain carbon steel. This is what makes it an exceptional material for cooking. It is also fairly inexpensive, but does not have a very high thermal conductivity.

  9. List of applications of stainless steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_applications_of...

    Stainless steel is used in a variety of applications in dentistry. It is common to use stainless steel in many instruments that need to be sterilized, such as needles, [42] endodontic files in root canal therapy, metal posts in root canal-treated teeth, temporary crowns and crowns for deciduous teeth, and arch wires and brackets in orthodontics ...
