The company VELOCITY STEEL INDIA operates as a Supplier and Stockist entity specializing in Stainless Steel Grades as well as High Nickel Alloys (providing raw materials for Sheets / Plates / Coils / Round Bars / Square Bars / Wires / Seamless and Welded Pipes / Fasteners (Bolts, Nuts, Washers, Special Components, Etc) and Fittings (Flanges, Reducers, Elbows, Clamps, Etc.).
The chromium and nickel alloy steel material known as Stainless Steel 301 operates under the name SS 301. This metal demonstrates excellent resistance against rust and corrosion because it maintains high durability. The material maintains excellent resistance to rust under heat conditions also features good formability because of its workable properties.
A major characteristic of SS 301 includes its resistance to rust in most settings while maintaining lower resistance than stainless steel grades SS 304 and SS 316. The material demonstrates resistance against rust and corrosion when used in less corrosive situations but tiny pits and crevice corrosion may occur when chlorides accumulate.
The production of items requiring moldability with robust attributes uses SS 301 as the base material. Exhaust systems, trim and supports for auto parts along with industrial parts comprising springs, washers and fasteners use this material. The product finds applications in construction alongside other uses. The material remains strong after bending or shaping because of which it works brilliantly for these specific applications.
Stainless Steel 301 (SS 301) serves industries in multiple sectors thanks to its superb strength level as well as its flexible nature and satisfactory corrosion protection characteristics. SS 301 finds use in several industrial applications which include the following:
The automotive industry utilizes SS 301 due to its high strength level together with heat resistance and the ability to resist oxidation in producing exhaust components. Automotive parts feature SS 301 steel through its use in decorative trim and moldings and other components which need durable decorative elements. It finds widespread use for creating springs while also being a material choice for bolts washers and other fasteners especially in items that need to handle mechanical stress and vibration.
Aircraft manufacturers utilize SS 301 to produce aircraft components that need strength together with resistance against corrosion in structural parts and engine components. The high strength properties within SS 301 have made it suitable for application in fasteners and springs alongside other component parts that require mechanical fatigue resistance.
SS 301 shows excellence as a material in food processing equipment because it resists oxidation well while maintaining high cleaning capabilities. Manufacturers use SS 301 to create washers and springs along with additional mechanical pieces which require high-strength capabilities along with good resistance against wear for industrial machinery.
The chemical industry utilizes SS 301 as a material in its processing equipment yet aggressive chemicals would likely damage this grade more than SS 316.
| Grade | C | Mn | Si | P | S | Cr | Ni | Fe |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SS 310 | 0.25 max. | 2.00 max. | 1.50 max. | 0.045 max. | 0.03 max. | 24.0 – 26.0 | 19.0 – 22.0 | Balance |
The austenitic stainless steel known as Stainless Steel 301 (SS 301) demonstrates exceptional versatility through its high strength combined with good formability and cold-working capability and corrosion resistance properties. The stainless steel SS 301 contains chromium nickel along with other elements to provide multiple balanced mechanical features suitable for many applications including automotive requirements and aerospace operations in addition to construction elements food processing parts and industrial equipment sections.
SS 301 stands out because of its excellent tensile strength that enhances after cold working and its acceptable resistance to corrosion which suits components exposed to mechanical forces and hot environmental conditions. This material offers better performance than SS 304 and SS 316 in moderate corrosive environments although it shows reduced resistance to severe corrosion situations.
