Stainless steels are a group of steels that contain at least 10.5% chromium. The addition of this element, along with a wide variety of others, generally improves corrosion resistance and mechanical properties at high temperatures. Sheets can be supplied to many different end-user approvals.

1.1151 |
An unalloyed heat treatable carbon steel available in sheet and strip. Suitable for low strength components. Requires protection from corrosion if it is to be exposed to the atmosphere. Easily welded. Annealed tensile strength (Rm) 430-540 N/mm2. Usually supplied softened. |
S511
BS |
EN2A |
An unalloyed heat treatable carbon steel available in sheet and strip. Suitable for low strength components requiring significant drawing operations during manufacture. Requires protection from corrosion if it is to be exposed to the atmosphere. Annealed tensile strength (Rm) 280-400 N/mm2. |
S513
SEL |
1.1169 |
A simple carbon spring steel containing higher levels of carbon than S510 and S511. Available in hardened/tempered sheet and strip but tensile strength only reaches hardness. Requires protection from corrosion if it is to be exposed to the atmosphere. |
S514 / S515
|
Carbon-manganese steel available in sheet and strip. Both grades chemically identical, S514 supplied heat treated to produce tensile strength (Rm) 770-1000 N/mm2.
S515 supplied soft annealed to give tensile strength (Rm) 460-600 N/mm2 before final heat treatment. |
