Choosing the correct Stainless Steel grade is the first critical step in any successful engineering project. As the prime stockiest of ferrous and non-ferrous materials in Makarpura GIDC, Vadodara, Pooja Steel and Engg helps you navigate the options, focusing on the grades most vital to Gujarat’s diverse industrial landscape. Understanding the Major SS Families Stainless Steel is an iron alloy containing a minimum of 10.5% Chromium, which provides its signature corrosion resistance. The four main families you'll encounter are :A. Austenitic Grades 300 series Key Feature: Non-magnetic, excellent corrosion resistance, high ductility. SS 304/304L: The workhorse of the industry. Excellent weldability and formability. Used widely in food processing, architecture, and general industrial equipment.304L is the low-carbon version, preferred for welding thick sections. SS 316/316L: The premium choice for corrosive environments. The addition of Molybdenum significantly enhances resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, making it critical for the chemical, pharmaceutical, and marine industries prevalent in Gujarat's coastal and industrial belts (e.g., Ankleshwar, Dahej). 316L(low carbon) is essential for heavily welded structures like pressure vessels and chemical reactors. B. Ferritic Grades 400 Series Key Feature: Magnetic, good stress-corrosion cracking resistance, lower cost. SS 430: Good corrosion resistance in mild environments and good heat resistance. Used in automotive trim and kitchen appliances. C. Martensitic Grades 400 Series Key Feature: Magnetic, can be heat-treated to achieve high hardness and strength. SS 410: Used where high strength and moderate corrosion resistance are required, such as fasteners, cutlery, and pump shafts.
