Steel
1.0038 / St37-k / S235JR
This is a hot rolled pure structural steel. With good plasticity, toughness and weldability, it has a lower yield strength of 235MPa and ease of sheet processing. This material can be formed into many products such as I beams, channels, plates, angle bars etc. its excellent weldability makes it to be widely used in bridges, transmission towers etc. It is equivalent to Fe360B.

Stainless Steel
1.4301/ X5CrNi18.10 (V2A)
This is chromium – nickel austenitic stainless steel. The chromium element gives it excellent corrosion resistance. It has a tensile strength of 590MPa. It has good machinability but low thermal conductivity. It is used in kitchen equipment such as pans, tubes, sinks and many more. It is easily formable and requires special tooling for fabrication to prevent contamination with corrosion prone materials.

1.4404 / X2CrNiMo17-12-2 (V4A)
The addition of molybdenum results in improved corrosion resistance with good stability against chloric and non oxidizing acid. It has good heat resistance which reduces in continuous use at 425 – 861°C in water. It can be readily formed into different products. It has easy fabrication and is used in food processing equipment, boat fittings, bolts, nuts and springs.
