Stainless and special steels

FAQ

Which stainless grade should I choose, 304 or 316?

304 (1.4301) is the general-purpose grade for indoor use, food contact and mild atmospheres. 316 (1.4404) adds molybdenum for chlorides, coastal air and chemical exposure. For high-temperature or structural duty other grades apply; send the application and we advise.

Can you slit stainless coils?

Yes. Stainless strips are slit with protected surfaces and edges suited to further forming or tube welding.

Do you supply small quantities?

Yes. Stainless and special steels are often needed in small lots; we combine them with other material into one delivery where possible.

Are bars and profiles available cut to length?

Yes, sawn to length with a tolerance agreed per order.

Are certificates always included?

Every stainless and special steel lot comes with its EN 10204 3.1 certificate; PED or other approvals are stated on the offer when required.
