Austenite type
1Cr17Mn6Ni5N Ni-free type steel, its property is similar to
12Cr17Ni7 (1Cr17 Ni7), which can be used in place
of 12Cr17Ni7 (1Cr17Ni7). It is nonmagnetic in
solution state and slightly magnetic after cold
processing. It is mainly used for manufacturing
hotel facilities, kitchenware, water pool and traffic
means, etc
1Cr18Mn8Ni5N Ni-free type steel is the most typical and better
developed Cr-Mn-Ni-N type steel. It possesses very
good anti-oxidation property below 800 while
keeping higher strength, which can be used in place
of 12Cr18Ni9(1Cr18Ni9). It is mainly used for
manufacturing the parts subject to weak media
corrosion and load below 800, such as cooking
utensils and tableware, etc
1Cr17Ni7
Metastable austenite steel is the steel subject to
easiest cold deformation strengthening. It can obtain
high strength and hardness through cold processing
while keeping sufficient plastic strength, it
possesses better corrosion resistance under
atmospheric conditions. It is mainly used to
manufacture the equipment and units that are to
withstand higher load under cold processing state
while expecting lighter weight and corrosion
resistance, such as railway cars, decoration plates,
conveyer belt and fasteners, etc
1Cr18Ni9
The austenite stainless steel with the longest history
possesses excellent plasticity, toughness and cold
processing property in solid solution state and better
corrosion resistance in oxidable acid, atmosphere,
water, steam or other media. Cold processing shall
offer high strength, but its elongation is a slightly
poorer than 12Cr17Ni7(1Cr17Ni7). It is mainly
used to manufacture the structural parts and welded
parts with lower requirements on corrosion
resistance and strength, such as external decoration
materials of buildings; it can be used for
nonmagnetic parts and parts for low temperature
device. But it intends to have intergranular
corrosion in sensitizing state or after welding, so, it
is not proper to be used as welded structural
material.
Y1Cr18Ni9
12Cr18Ni9(1Cr18Ni9) improved cutting property
steel. It is the best material to make roller, shaft, bolt
and nut, etc, by fast cutting (by automatic lathe, etc)
Y1Cr18Ni9Se
In addition to adjustment made to phosphonium and
sulphur contents in 12Cr18Ni9(1Cr18Ni9) steel,
selenium has also been added to improve the cutting
property of 12Cr18Ni9(1Cr18Ni9) steel. It is
applicable to less cutting volume, and also suitable
for hot processing or cold processing, such as screw
and rivet, etc

A
steel
developed
on
the
basis
of
12Cr18Ni9(1Cr18Ni9) steel, its property is similar
to 12Cr18Ni9(1Cr18Ni9) steel, but its corrosion
resistance is better than 12Cr18Ni9(1Cr18Ni9)
steel, it can be used to make welded part of small
section dimension, so it is a kind of stainless steel of
largest quantity and most extensive range in
application. It is suitable for manufacturing
deep-punching formed parts, as well as acid
delivery pipe, vessel and structural parts, etc, it can
also be used to make nonmagnetic/low-temperature
equipment and parts

This is a super low carbon austenite stainless steel


developed to solve the problem that Cr23C6
seepage make 06Cr19Ni10(0Cr18Ni9) steel have
severe intergranular corrosion tendency under
certain conditions, its intergranular corrosion
resistance in sensitizing state is remarkably better
than 06Cr19Ni10(0Cr18Ni9) steel. Except for
strength which is a slightly lower, all the other
properties
are
the
same
as
06Cr19Ni10(0Cr18Ni9) steel, mainly used to
make corrosion resistant equipment and parts by
way of welding while it is impossible to carry out
solution treatment after welding
It is a stainless steel developed on the basis of
06Cr19Ni10(0Cr18Ni9) steel to improve its cold
forming property. Addition of copper reduces the
hardening tendency in cold processing and the
reduction of hardening rate in cold processing
offers maximum cold deformation under less
forming pressure. It is mainly used to
manufacture cold upsetting fastener and parts for
cold forming like deep drawing, etc
Nitrogen is added to 06Cr19Ni10(0Cr18Ni9)
steel, not only to prevent reduction of plasticity,
but also to improve steel strength and hardening
tendency in processing, improve the pitting
corrosion resistance and intergranular corrosion
resistance of steel and reduce material thickness.
It can be used to make equipment or structural
parts requiring certain corrosion resistance, higher
strength and lighter weight.
Nitrogen and niobium are added to
06Cr19Ni10(0Cr18Ni9) steel to improve the
pitting corrosion resistance and intergranular
corrosion resistance of steel, the properties and
applications of which are the same as
06Cr19Ni10N(0Cr19Ni9N) steel
It
is
extra-low
carbon
steel
of
06Cr19Ni10N(0Cr19Ni9N). As the intergranular
corrosion
resistance
of
06Cr19Ni10N
(0Cr19Ni9N) steel is remarkably lowered when it
is heated under 450 ~ 900 temperature, so
022Cr19Ni10N(00Cr18Ni10N)
steel
is
recommended to welded equipment and parts.
It is a stainless steel developed on the basis of
12Cr18Ni9(1Cr18Ni9) steel through increasing
nickel content in steel. Its processing hardening
property is lower than 12Cr18Ni9(1Cr18Ni9)
steel. It is suitable for spinning and special
purpose drawing, such as used as cold upsetting
