Material stainless steel components
Depending on the requirements of the components, or demand by the customer, we process different materials. Following the data of alloys mainly used by us.
Stainless steel 1.4016 / X6Cr17 / V2A
Stainless ferritic chrome steel
Production share of approx. 14% world
Processing characteristics:
Good polishing ability, drawability and bendability.
By ferritic microstructure good resistance to stress corrosion cracking.
Corrosion resistant against media with low aggressiveness (natural water and solvents), as well as sufficient in indoor applications.
Applications:
Household products, food and beverage production, furniture industry, interior design, medical technology, and partly also in the chemical industry, as well as plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems
Stainless steel 1.4301 / X5CrNi18-10 / V2A
Stainless austenitic steel
Production share of approx. 33% worldwide and thus the most widely processed stainless steel alloy
Processing characteristics:
Stainless steel 1.4301 is due to good processing (welding, cold forming and polishing) one of the most commonly used stainless steels. The austenitic chrome-nickel steel has due to the nickel content a high corrosion resistance to natural environmental media and non-loaded atmospheres. By very low carbon content of 1.4301 stainless steel is ideal for the welding of sheet metal thickness up to 5 mm, without subsequent heat treatment. After welding or heat treatment the steel is susceptible to intergranular corrosion.
Applications:
Automotive industry, construction industry, food industry, beverage production, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, chemical apparatus, architecture.
Stainless steel 1.4307 / X2CrNi18-9
Stainless austenitic steel
Processing characteristics:
Compared to 1.4301, stainless steel 1.4307 is more resistant to intergranular corrosion and is well suitable for application in natural environmental media. 1.4307 has replaced in some applications the titanium stabilized material 1.4541; especially because of the better surface for mechanical polishing and electropolishing.
Applications:
Mechanical engineering, automotive industry, interior design, electrical industry, food industry, chemical industry.
Stainless steel 1.4571 / X6CrNiMoTi17-12-2
Stainless austenitic steel
Processing characteristics:
Excellent corrosion resistance in natural, urban and industrial environments. In very aggressive conditions with chlorine, salt or acid concentrations, use higher alloyed materials. Der Werkstoff eignet sich sehr gut zum Kaltumformen und wird oft eingesetzt, wenn Festigkeit bei hohen Temperaturen gefordert ist. The material is very well suitable for cold forming and has a good resistance by high temperatures. However, the 1.4571 is not suitable for polishing.
Applications:
Pipeline construction, shipbuilding, engineering, food industry, chemical industry.
