Classification of Stainless Steel

Stainless steel can be roughly classified according to its purpose, chemical composition, and metallographic structure.

Developing steel grades for various purposes based on the basic composition of 18% chromium and 8% nickel in the austenitic system, with different variations in the amount of each element added.

Classified stainless steel by chemical composition:

① CR series: ferritic series, martensitic series
② CR-N series: Austenitic series, Abnormal series, Precipitation hardening series

Classified stainless steel by metallographic structure:

1. Austenitic stainless steel

2. Ferritic stainless steel

3. Martensitic stainless steel

4. Duplex stainless steel

5. Precipitation hardening stainless steel
