Materials We Work With

A complete list of the industrial-grade metals we machine with precision — helping you choose the right material for your project.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is preferred for applications requiring high corrosion resistance, durability, and strength in various temperature environments.

200 Series (Economy Austenitic)

  • 201 – Cost-effective, light structural & decorative
  • 202 – Better corrosion resistance than 201

300 Series (High Corrosion Resistance)

  • 301 – High strength, spring properties
  • 304 – Most common austenitic, food-grade
  • 304L – Low carbon, excellent weldability
  • 309 – High temp resistance (up to 980°C)
  • 310 / 310S – Very high temperature service
  • 316 – Marine-grade, superior corrosion resistance
  • 316L – Chemical & pharma applications
  • 321 – Titanium stabilized, better weldability

Duplex & Special Grades

  • 2205 – Super strong duplex alloy
  • 904L – High corrosion resistance, chemical industry
  • 17-4PH – Aerospace-grade precipitation hardened steel

400 Series (Ferritic / Martensitic)

  • 409 – Automotive exhaust systems
  • 410 – Engineering parts, moderate corrosion resistance
  • 420 – Cutting tools, knives
  • 430 – Decorative, cookware
  • 441 – High-temperature ferritic steel

Primary Forms

  • Sheet / Plate (0.4 mm to 50+ mm)
  • Pipes – ERW & Seamless (SCH 5 to SCH 80)
  • Round, flat, hex bars
  • Wire & coil
  • Custom sections

Mild & Carbon Steel

Mild and carbon steels are widely used for structural, automotive, and general engineering applications due to excellent machinability and strength.

IS 2062 Structural Grades

  • E250 (A/B/C) – General structural work
