301/301L Stainless Steel

WLD Stainless is a leading manufacturer, supplier and exporter of the stainless steel 301/301L in the shape of the pipe, tube, sheet, plate, bar, rod and other shapes like an angel, channel, circle, cut piece.

Type 301 stainless steel is a commonly used Austenitic stainless with higher strain-hardening. It offers good corrosion resistance, high strength, and elevated carbon to allow for cold working to a variety of tempers. It can be obtained in the 1/4 hard, 1/2 hard, fully hard and extra hard tempers. It retains sufficient ductility under 1/2 hardening conditions to be formed by rolling or bending into aircraft parts, structural parts of buildings, and especially railway carriage parts. Cold rolled slabs hardened by 3/4 to full hardening should be used for parts requiring high wear resistance and elasticity. Type 301L is the low carbon version of the 301 stainless steel, The typical application of 301 and 301L including gaskets, springs, shims, fasteners, tools, blades, automotive parts, aerospace components, kitchen utensils and Tableware, electrical components and others.
