Performance
The classic 18%Cr-8%Ni austenitic with the most balanced corrosion resistance, formability and weldability; the highest-volume general-purpose stainless, but without molybdenum its pitting resistance to chlorides is limited.
Use cases
Food machinery, cookware, architectural decoration, general chemical vessels, piping and structural parts; widely used in fresh-water service at ambient temperature.
Characteristics
Non-magnetic (slight magnetism after cold work), good weldability, excellent polishing and cold-forming, high cost-performance.
