FAQ's

The Austenitic grades don’t stick to the magnet in the solution annealed condition, but after doing cold work (wire drawing), it results in a partial transformation of austenite to martensite. This increase in cold work forms the martensite phase, resulting in the material becoming magnetic.

Tensile strength is the resistance of steel to breaking under tensile tension. It is the maximum force required to break the object per unit cross-sectional area.

Yes, it is. Stainless steel has a minimum of 11% chromium as an alloying element. Chromium reacts with oxygen, providing corrosion resistance and protecting the steel from corrosion, hence it is called stainless steel. Stainless steel is available in various grades, and higher grades contain different combinations of alloying elements, resulting in varied properties.

Yes, it can be welded successfully. It requires controlling impurities and selecting the proper filler metal based on the material to be welded.

The popular finishes in stainless steel are matte and bright. However, various customized requirements from customers are met based on applications or treatments to be done on the steel to produce finished products.

There are types of stainless steel, such as Austenitic stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel, martensitic stainless steel, and ph stainless steel. Among these, Austenitic stainless steel is non-magnetic.

There are various AISI product specifications as follows:
