This is a simple introduction to SST alloys, or stainless steel alloys. Clicking on the active link will lead for further manufacturing, machining and applications for that SST alloy.

SST-303 – Provide good corrosion resistance and responds well to extensive machining.

SST-304 – Easily formed, welded and resistant to corrosion, this is the most commonly used of the SST alloys.

SST-309 – Resistant to high temperatures, resistant to corrosion for applications requiring strength.

SST-316 – The second most popular alloy, this contains molybdenum is more corrosion resistant than SST-304.

SST-409 – Easily formed, with good resistance to corrosion, able to withstand high temperatures.

SST-410 – When heated maintains mechanical properties, good impact strength, scaling and corrosion resistance.

SST-416 – This chromium-steel alloy while not suitable where welding is required, is always magnetic and easily machined.

SST-430 – Excellent resistant to corrosion, a non-hardenable steel alloy easily formed.
