AUSTENITIC - This steel is the most common in use. It is made of 18% chromium and 8% nickel, this stainless steel also carries elements like nitrogen and manganese. It is highly resistant to corrosion. Being flexible, this type is used for drawing wires and fabricating thin sheets.
MARTENSITIC - This is the most commercially utilized steel that is most commonly used for making cutleries. It can also resist corrosion caused by environmental factors.
FERRITIC - It is popularly known as 400 series, this type contains 10.5% of carbon along with 27% chromium. Ferritic steel is mainly known for its magnetic properties
DUPLEX - When the basic components of austenitic and Ferritic steel are mixed it leads to the composition of duplex steel, which is known for its high content of chromium and low content of nickel.
PRECIPITATION HARDENING - This type of stainless steel is basically austenitic in nature and comes with the addition of other elements as well.
