Guide for Importing Stainless Steel From India

Stainless steel is a metal having high demand in the global market. Because of its strength, corrosion resistance, and minimum maintenance makes it very suitable for most of the industries like automobiles, construction, aerospace, food industry, Hospitals, tools, and equipment manufacturing.

There is a popular concept in the market that high-quality product has a high price and most time use buy product that looks good and the price is reasonable compared to other option. Thinking that the product must be right because we are paying a very high price for it.

If you are buying stainless steel, you should consider price as well, but there are more essential things are the type you are selecting and the components that used while manufacturing stainless steel. Getting wrong grade steel that looks good has high Quality, but it is not going to work because there is a particular type of stainless steel that is used according to the requirements.

There is a common belief that grade 304 can be used everywhere, but it is only half part of the Industry. the stainless steel grade 304 is versatile and used in many industries. The same steel can be used in construction, making surgical equipment, but you need to add some other components according to the need. There are other grades like 17-4ph, 15-5ph, 400 series and 300 series.

If you are importing stainless steel from India, a recommendation is that you should read this article covering all essential topics that will help you in selecting the right grade according to the Industry and requirement. Standard in the stainless steel industry.

India is the second-largest steel manufacturing county in the world. It is having a production of 106.5 million tonnes. It is also one of the top steel exporter in the world that exports stainless steel more than 50+ countries. If you are looking to Import steel from other countries, Importing stainless steel from India is the best option for you providing high-quality stainless steel with the best price.

There are many standards in India followed by stainless steel manufacturers that are EN, DIN, JIS, ASTM, BS, ASME, AISI and more. These will help you to choose the right quality stainless steel and help you to know more about your supplier.

Stainless steel is categorized in grades. Each grade has it’s own USP and applications. here is a list of stainless steel grades with its applications that will make your selection process easy.

Ferritic Stainless Steels

Ferritic steels hold high chromium, low carbon content having good ductility, corrosion and stress corrosion cracking resistance.  

Grades and applications are as below

  • Grade 409: Automotive exhaust systems and heat exchangers
  • Grade 416: Axles, shafts, and fasteners
  • Grade 430: Food industry and appliances
  • Grade 439: Automotive exhaust systems components

Austenitic Stainless Steels

Austenitic steels are non-magnetic stainless steels that hold high levels of chromium and nickel and low levels of carbon.

Grades and applications are as below

  • Grade 409: Automotive exhaust systems and heat exchangers
  • Grade 416: Axles, shafts, and fasteners
  • Grade 430: Food industry and appliances
  • Grade 439: Automotive exhaust systems components
  • Grade 303: Fasteners, fittings, gears
  • Grade 304: General purpose austenitic stainless steel
  • Grade 304L: Grade 304 applications that require welding
  • Grade 309: Applications involving elevated temperatures
  • Grade 316: Chemical applications
  • Grade 316L: Grade 316 applications that require welding

Martensitic Stainless Steels

Martensitic stainless steels may have low or high carbon, It mainly composed around the iron, with carbon from 0.10% up to 1.2% and chromium from 12% up to 17 %.

  • Grade 410: Generable purpose martensitic stainless steel
  • Grade 440C: Bearings, knives, and other wear-resistant applications

Precipitation Hardened Stainless Steels

Precipitation Hardened Stainless Steels is manufactured by a special heat treatment technique that enhances yield strength which provides strength in high temperature.

  • 17-4 PH: Aerospace, nuclear, defense and chemical applications
  • 15-5 PH: Valves, fittings, and fasteners

Duplex stainless steels

Duplex stainless has a ferritic and austenitic steel grains microstructure. It is better in toughness and weldability compared to ferritic stainless steel. corrosion resistance is high than austenitic stainless steel.

  • 2205: Heat exchangers and pressure vessels
  • 2507: Pressure vessels and desalination plants
