300 Series And 400 Series Of Stainless Steel

Difference Between 300 Series And 400 Series Of Stainless Steel

Differences between 300 and 400 series of stainless steel

300 and 400 series are stainless steel groups that include similarities and disparities. Sustainable applications require an effective selection of appropriate alloy. Disparities among the grades, guide towards the use of the right alloy. The microstructure arrangement is face-centered-cubicle for 300 series, whereas 400 series is represented by body-centered-cubicle. 400 series grades are magnetic in nature, whereas 300 series are non-magnetic.

The critical difference which differentiates between the 300 and 400 series is the chemical composition.

Chemical composition

Generally, 300 series of stainless grades contain chromium, nickel, and molybdenum. Grade 400 series stainless steel grades have a basic composition of chromium and manganese. Chromium content range appears to be 18-30% for 300 series and 11-12% for 400 series whereas the carbon content is higher in 400 series.

300 Series offers impressive corrosion resistance than 400series grades. The nickel and chromium contribute better corrosion resistance for the 300 series.
