Stainless Steel Sheet | Vi Metal Alüminyum

Stainless steel is an iron-carbon alloy containing at least 10.5 % chromium. Chromium forms a self-healing passive oxide layer on the surface that protects the steel from corrosion; the material owes its name to this stain-free, rust-resistant structure.

Stainless steel sheets are the preferred material wherever hygiene, strength and aesthetics are required together, such as in the food and chemical industries, commercial kitchens and architecture.

Austenitic stainless steels

Covers the 200 and 300 series; 304 is the most widely used grade (304, 304L, 309, 310, 310S, 316, 316L, 316Ti, 321).
The main alloying elements are chromium and nickel; non-magnetic.
The most popular group thanks to its corrosion resistance and performance at high and low temperatures.
Used for kitchen equipment, hot-water boilers and in the food and chemical industries.

Ferritic stainless steels

430 is the most common grade; magnetic.
Low thermal expansion; cannot be hardened by heat treatment.
An economical solution for household appliances, decorative applications and interior cladding.

Martensitic stainless steels

Can be hardened by heat treatment (e.g. 420).
High strength and wear resistance.
Used for knives, surgical instruments and machine parts.
