Detailed Material Descriptions

1. Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, strength, and ease of cleaning, making it ideal for sanitary applications. Austenitic grades like 304 and 316 are commonly used in food processing and pharmaceutical industries, while martensitic grades like 17-4 PH are used in applications requiring high strength and hardness.

2. Carbon Steel
Carbon steel is versatile and offers excellent strength and ductility. It is commonly used in structural applications and manufacturing automotive parts. The A36 grade is widely used in construction, while 4140 is favored for its toughness in heavy machinery components.

3. Alloy Steel
Alloy steels contain additional elements that enhance their mechanical properties. For instance, 4130 and 4150 grades are commonly used in high-stress environments, such as aerospace and automotive applications, where strength and fatigue resistance are critical.

4. Precipitation Hardening Steel
This category includes materials like 15-5 PH and 17-4 PH, which achieve high strength through aging processes. They are used in aerospace and defense industries where performance and reliability are paramount.

5. Nitronic Stainless Steel
Nitronic 50 is known for its exceptional strength and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for marine applications and other environments where exposure to harsh conditions is expected.

6. Duplex Stainless Steel
Duplex grades like 2205 and 2507 combine the best properties of austenitic and ferritic stainless steels, offering high strength and excellent corrosion resistance. They are typically used in oil and gas, petrochemical, and seawater applications.
