Commercial Stainless Steel Alloys

Stainless steel is any one of a family of alloy steels usually containing 10 to 30 percent chromium and it is available in over 100 grades.

The grades 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.
