Stainless steel machining — corrosion-resistant precision parts.
Medical instruments, food/pharma, marine hardware. 303, 304, 316, 17-4 PH. Corrosion-resistant with controlled microstructure for repeatable finishes.
Pick the grade that matches the environment.
Stainless covers a huge range of applications — but the grade you pick drives machinability, corrosion behavior, and weldability. K+G stocks the common grades; specialty grades sourced on quote.
303 (free-machining)
Highest machinability. Slightly lower corrosion resistance than 304. Common for high-volume fittings, instruments, fasteners.
304 / 316
Workhorses for food, pharma, and marine. 316 has added molybdenum for chloride resistance — pick it when seawater or harsh chemistry is in scope.
17-4 PH (precipitation-hardened)
Heat-treatable for high strength. Common in aerospace shafts, valve components, and surgical instruments. Machined in annealed state, then age-hardened.
