Alloys

301 – ATTRIBUTES FOR TILE: High-strength stainless with good formability; commonly used for spring-like or formed components

303 – ATTRIBUTES FOR TILE: Free-machining stainless; limited sheet availability and reduced formability

304 / 304L – ATTRIBUTES FOR TILE: Most common sheet metal stainless; good corrosion resistance and formability

316 / 316L – ATTRIBUTES FOR TILE: Enhanced corrosion resistance for harsher or marine environments

430 – ATTRIBUTES FOR TILE: Ferritic stainless; magnetic and cost-effective with reduced corrosion resistance

Finishing Options

Electroless Nickel Plating, Electropolishing, Media Blasting, Nickel Plating, Passivation, Powder Coating, Tumbling

About the Material

Stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion and rust, making it suitable for situations where a part may be exposed to the elements for a long period of time. Stainless steel is also fairly malleable and ductile. Fictiv offers multiple stainless steel alloys, including a food-safe variety.

Material Finish

The finish of stainless steel varies greatly depending on surface roughness, but it’s generally characterized as being more shiny than unfinished aluminum alloys, and slightly darker and more silver in color.

Stainless steel can also be media-blasted, sanded, hand-polished, and powder coated to achieve a multitude of surface finishes.
