Common Stainless Steel

Customized Solutions

We tailor sheets and strips according to your requirements.

We collaborate with service centers in Sweden and Europe, enabling us to offer customized lengths, widths, and thicknesses for both sheets and strips. We can provide water- and laser-cut materials from our suppliers.

Additionally, we offer storage services and “just in time” deliveries from our warehouse in Halmstad.

Stainless Steel

Ferritic steel

Only Cold-rolled

1.4016

The steel is often used for kitchenware and indoor furnishings. The steel is not weldable and has relatively low corrosion resistance.

1.4509

1.4509 is a nickel-free, and therefore cheaper, alternative to 1.4301. The steel withstands high temperatures, has good formability, and is weldable.

1.4510

The steel is primarily used in the automotive industry due to its excellent weldability and formability.

Austenitic steels

Both cold-rolled and hot-rolled

1.4301

Austenitic stainless steel, referred to as "standard 18/8," boasts excellent resistance to both corrosion and high temperatures. It outperforms ferritic steels in most applications and environments. EN 1.4306 and EN 1.4307 are low-carbon variants of EN 1.4301 with low content of carbon.

1.4404

It is a molybdenum-alloyed, acid-resistant stainless steel. Its corrosion resistance is excellent against both general corrosion and pitting. Due to its higher content of nickel (Ni) and molybdenum (Mo), the steel has strong resistance to chlorides and acids.

1.4541

A variant of 1.4301 that is titanium-stabilized to prevent intergranular corrosion during welding.

1.4571

A variant of 1.4404 that is also titanium-stabilized.

1.4539 (904L)

It is a highly alloyed, fully austenitic stainless steel—a super-austenitic grade with low carbon content. This steel is specifically designed to resist corrosion in diluted sulfuric acid and is recommended for use in phosphoric acid and organic acid applications. It can withstand harsh environments effectively.

1.4547 (254SMO)

It is an austenitic stainless steel that, thanks to its high molybdenum content, possesses excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. This steel grade is specifically designed for use in harsh seawater environments, such as oil platforms.

Duplex steels

Both cold-rolled and hot-rolled

1.4162 (LDX2101)

The steel has excellent strength properties, allowing for reduced material thickness, which in turn saves both weight and costs.

1.4462 (SAF 2205)

It is a duplex acid-resistant steel that combines many of the excellent properties of both ferritic and austenitic steels. Thanks to its high chromium and molybdenum content, the steel offers exceptional resistance to pitting and general corrosion.

1.4410 (SAF 2507)

Superduplex steel boasts exceptional corrosion resistance and very high strength properties. However, welding this steel is notably challenging.

Heat-resistant steels

Both cold-rolled and hot-rolled.

1.4835 (253MA)

It is an austenitic steel designed for use in the temperature range of 850-1100 degrees Celsius, where specific demands are placed on high creep strength and excellent corrosion resistance.

Surface-treated sheet

Brushed/Polished

Cold-rolled stainless steel with surface finishes such as Scotch Brite, DP20, DP40, or other variants. 

Is an excellent choice when aiming to enhance the aesthetic appeal.

Bright-annealed sheets

The bright annealing process takes place in a controlled atmosphere without oxygen. The goal of this heat treatment is to minimize oxidation to an absolute minimum. The result is bright-annealed 2R, also known as BA (bright annealed).

Mönstervalsad

Rostfri kallvalsad plåt med mönstervalsning.

En dekorativ yta som är vanligt förekommande i hissar, kassadiskar och numera pooler i simhallar.

Exempel på mönster; AN5, 5WL, Trios, TB1, Läder och Tårplåt.

ResponsibleSteel

ResponsibleSteel är världens första globala och oberoende standard för ansvarsfullt anskaffat och producerat stål. ResponsibleSteel-standarden gav ett verktyg för att utvärdera och stärka våra leverantörer och huvudmäns hållbarhetsarbete genom ett ambitiöst ramverk på branschnivå med en strategi som sträcker sig längre än till efterlevnad.

More about Stainless Steel

Good to Know About Stainless Steel

 

Stainless steel is an iron alloy known for its resistance to rust and corrosion. This durability is primarily due to the presence of at least 10.5% chromium, which forms a thin, protective layer of chromium oxide on the surface. If the surface is damaged, this layer can quickly reform in the presence of oxygen, providing continuous protection.

Stainless steel is incredibly versatile and is used in a wide range of areas such as architecture and construction, interior design, automotive, medicine, food and beverage, chemicals, energy and power, household items, art, and monuments. Stainless steel can be reshaped and formed, colored, ground, polished to give different appearances to meet a function and requirements. An example is anti-slip protection for pools where there was a certain requirement for slip risk or as facades for building or interior design in offices or home areas such as kitchens and bathrooms.
