The choice of stainless steel alloy depends on the specific application and required properties, such as:

  • Corrosion resistance: Choose alloys like 304 or 316 for superior resistance to corrosion in acidic or marine environments.
  • Strength: Martensitic alloys (e.g., 410 or 420) are ideal when high strength is needed.
  • Heat resistance: For high-temperature applications, alloys like 310 or 446 are preferred.
