Are you seeking a cost-effective alternative to the 200 and 300 series stainless steel grades that can handle even the harshest temperatures? Then you should consider 409 stainless steel. Grade 409 stainless steel is a general-purpose, titanium-stabilized, ferritic alloy that offers excellent chemical, mechanical, and physical properties. It is commonly said to be the […]

   Type 304 and 304L are commonly used austenitic stainless steel. These are relatively low cost, extremely formidable, and resistant to atmospheric corrosion. Both types have similar chemical and mechanical properties, but the main difference lies in their carbon content. You might be wondering, what makes these two stainless steels so versatile, and what are […]

  Grade 430 stainless steel is by far the most sought-after non-hardenable, straight chromium type of stainless steel. It is a general-purpose alloy that falls under the ferritic stainless steel class. Type 430 offers an excellent combination of (mild) atmospheric corrosion resistance and formability, with many useful mechanical properties. This grade of stainless steel can […]

  HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. The job of HVAC equipment is to move air between outdoor and indoor spaces. This can include heating and cooling both residential and commercial property. This process is called ventilation. So, whether it is the dead of winter, or the heat of the summer, HVAC significantly […]

  Metal Springs can be found in almost every industry in the world. They can be found in materials used by the food industry, medical sector, piping, oil and gas, aerospace and beyond. Springs should have properties like, high strength, high elasticity, corrosion resistance, formability, fatigue strength and, in some cases, magnetic permeability and electrical […]

  STAINLESS STEEL IS GREEN Well, it might not be the COLOR green but it is considered an Environmentally Sustainable material. The environmental impact of a given material is often a major factor in the application of that material. Look no further than Stainless Steel. Stainless Steel is 100% Recyclable. And there are three specific […]
