Laser Cutting Stainless Steel Plate Grade 630 / 17-4PH Stainless Plate Thickness 0.3 - 30.0mm

There are traditionally three different categories of stainless steel: Austenitic, Ferritic, and Martensitic, all of which have pros and cons of using.

• Austenitic stainless steel is the most common type, it has high chromium that has great corrosion resistance. They are also nonmagnetic. One of the most common choices for austenitic stainless steel is 304, which is one of the most common stainless-steel metals used. It has great corrosion resistance, unlike low carbon steel, which is why it is often used in railings, trims, food processing equipment, and more.
• Ferritic stainless steel is magnetic, and it can be hardened for increased durability. Ferritic is often less expensive because it has less nickel in it. 430 and 434 are common grades for ferritic stainless steel. It is strong and can resist nitric acid.
• Martensitic stainless steels are hard but less resistant to corrosion. If you need high tensile strength and impact resistance, this may be the stainless steel for you. You can always coat it for increased corrosion resistance. 420 is the most common grade used.

These are a selection of the stainless steels that Micron Laser Technology can offer you, and if you are looking for a different type of stainless steel or a different grade, simply contact one of our customer service professionals. We can help source the right material for you.

Stainless Steel is a very common type of metal manufacturers and designers like to use when laser cutting metal parts.

With at least 10% chromium, stainless steel types types 301, 302, 303, and 304 are excellent when you need to laser cut corrosion resistant parts.

The 300 series hardens by cold working, many in the 400 series can be hardened by heat treating, and those designated “PH” can be heat treated by the process of precipitation hardening. Stainless steel is generally formable and bendable, but types that harden by cold working can require more force to bend than carbon steel. Stainless steel can typically be more difficult to machine than steel.
