330 is an austenitic nickel-chromium-iron-silicon alloy with excellent oxidation and carburizing properties up to 2200 °F and high strength. The high nickel and chromium content of the alloy provides excellent oxidation resistance and carburization, and the silicon content further improves the oxidation resistance of the alloy. The ultra-high nickel content of 34 to 37% of the alloy 330 also provides high resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking and embrittlement due to sigma phase precipitation in most furnace atmospheres. The alloy 330 also has a low coefficient of expansion, excellent ductility and high strength.
321(UNS S32100) is a titanium stabilized austenitic stainless steel with good general corrosion resistance. It has good intergranular corrosion resistance at a chromium carbide precipitation temperature of 800-1500 °F(427-816°C). The alloy is resistant to oxidation at 1500 °F(816°C) and has higher creep and stress rupture properties than the 304 and 304L alloys. It also has good low temperature toughness.
317L is a low-carbon austenitic stainless steel containing molybdenum. More chromium, nickel and molybdenum are added to obtain better corrosion resistance and increase the resistance to sulfurous acid, acetic acid, formic acid, citric acid and tartaric acid. Resistance to chemical attack. Due to its low carbon content, 317L also provides resistance to sensitization during welding, as well as higher creep, rupture stress and high temperature tensile strength. It is non-magnetic in the annealed state, but may become slightly magnetic after welding.
316Ti(UNS S31635) is a titanium stabilized version of 316 molybdenum-containing austenitic stainless steel. 316 alloys are more resistant to general corrosion and pitting/crevice corrosion than traditional chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels such as 304.
Grade 316 stainless steel is an austenitic form of stainless steel with a molybdenum content of 2-3%. The addition of molybdenum makes the metal more resistant to pitting and corrosion and improves its resistance to exposure to high temperatures. This grade of stainless steel is particularly effective when used in acidic environments. With this metal, corrosion caused by acetic acid, hydrochloric acid and other forms of acid can be prevented.

310S is an austenitic stainless steel that combines excellent high temperature performance with good ductility and weldability. It is usually used for high temperature applications because its high chromium and nickel content provides solid corrosion resistance, excellent oxidation resistance and excellent strength at temperatures up to 2100 °F. Due to its high chromium and nickel content, it is superior to 304 or 309 stainless steel in most environments.
309/309S Stainless Steel Plate
309 and 309S are austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steels that are typically used for higher temperature applications. Due to its high chromium and nickel content, 309 and 309S alloys have a high degree of corrosion resistance, excellent oxidation resistance and excellent heat resistance, while providing good strength at room temperature and high temperature. The only significant difference between 309 and 309S is the carbon content. The 309S alloy has less carbon, which minimizes carbide precipitation and improves weldability.
303 grade stainless steel is also called 1.4305 stainless steel, and 303 grade is the easiest to process of all austenitic stainless steels. The machinability properties of the 303 grade are due to the presence of sulfur in the steel elements. Sulfur can improve machining, but it also reduces corrosion resistance and toughness. The corrosion resistance of the 303 type is lower than that of the 304 type, but the toughness is still as excellent as other austenitic grades.
