GRADE 201
201 alloy is a high performance austenitic stainless steel formulated to have a lower and
more stable cost due to the substitution of manganese for a portion of the nickel used
in 300 series stainless steels such as Type 304. In addition, the chemical composition
of alloy 201 provides higher annealed mechanical properties than type 304 which can
result in an additional benefit of weight reduction. The 201 tensile strength is about 10%
higher than Type 304 which may allow for thinner gauges and therefore less material.
However, due to the lower Chromium and Nickel content, Type 201 stainless may not
have the same corrosion resistance as Type 304.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Commercial and residential food service applications, architectural end uses such as
handrails and support frame work, washing machines, hose clamps, sinks, containers
and structural components of truck trailers and railcars.

GRADE 303
303 is a free-machining variation of 304. The addition of sulfur for better machinability
makes this a favorite for use in automatic screw machines. Corrosion resistant to atmo-
spheric exposures, as well as a wide range of chemicals; most dyes, foods and nitric acid.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Bolts, bushings, nuts, shafts, and parts produced on automatic screw machines.

GRADE 304/304L
The most widely used of the austenitic grades, 304 offers good corrosion resistance
to many chemicals and industrial atmospheres. Generally considered non-magnetic,
it can become slightly magnetic when cold-worked. 304 is non-hardenable by heat
treatment. In 304L, the carbon content has been lowered to .03% max. for corrosion
resistance at heat affected zones from welding.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Architectural trim, beer barrels, cryogenic vessels, dairy equipment, and a wide
variety of most food applications.

GRADE 316L
316L is an austenitic chrome nickel steel with superior corrosion resistance to that of
other chrome nickel steels. Widely used when exposed to chemical corrodents, as well
as marine atmospheres. 316L is generally considered non-magnetic, but can become
magnetic when cold worked. In 316L, the carbon content has been lowered to .03%
max. for corrosion resistance at heat affected zones from welding.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Acetic acid compounds, kettles for cooking catsup, pulp and paper processing equip-
ment, water softener tanks, and many marine applications.

GRADE 410
410 is a martensitic stainless steel that is air or oil hardened and responds well to
hardening and tempering operations. Considered a 12% chromium steel, it offers superb
combinations of strength and toughness depending on degree of heat treatments. In
the annealed condition, it is a ready choice for forming and cold heading.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Machined parts, pump shafts, bushings, mining machinery, screws, valves, cutlery, oil
burner parts and hardware.

GRADE 416
416 is a martensitic chromium steel to which elements have been added to enhance
the machinability. 416 is the most readily machinable of all the stainless steels and is
suitable for use in automatic screw machines. 416 is less corrosion resistant than the
chrome-nickel steels. It is magnetic in all conditions.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Aircraft fittings, bolts, nuts, studs, rivets, screws, many nonseizing and nongalling
applications.

GRADE 420
420 is a martensitic chrome steel capable of hardening to a maximum of approxi-
mately 500 Brinell. It has its optimum corrosion resisting qualities in the hardened
and tempered condition. 420 is magnetic in all conditions.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Flatware knife blades, glass molds, hand tools, vegetable choppers.

GRADE 430
430 is a ferritic chrome steel with better heat and corrosion resistance than that of
Type 410 or 416, but less than that of the chrome nickel types. 430 is magnetic in all
conditions.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Automotive trim, builders’ hardware, combustion chambers, gutters and downspouts,
mufflers, stove tops, non-food contact restaurant equipment.

GRADE 440C
440C is a martensitic chrome steel that is capable of acquiring, upon heat treatment,
the highest hardness of any type of corrosion resisting steels. It has its optimum cor-
rosion resisting qualities in the hardened and tempered condition and is magnetic in all
conditions.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Instrument bearings, nozzles, steel balls and seats for oil well pumps, valve parts.

plications17-4 PH (630)/17-4 G&P/17-4 H900 G&P
17-4 is a martensitic precipitation hardening (maraging) steel that combines high
strength and hardness with excellent corrosion resistance. A simple one-step aging
treatment in the range of 900 to 1150 degrees hardens the alloy to its design strength
levels.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
High strength fittings, valves, bolts, shafting, pump parts, medical instruments.

Plasma Cutting
Alro’s Plasma Cutting System provides tighter
tolerances, minimizes machining on finished
parts and provides greater part accuracy.
O2 Plasma means a smaller, heat affected zone
and reduced edge cracking when forming.
PC-based control technology increases control
