Type

Stainless Steel Material Type

Austenitic Stainless Steel

  • Basic Info
  • About Austenitic Stainless Steel Featured Image

    About Austenitic Stainless Steel

    Widely used for robotic components due to superior corrosion resistance and good malleability. Non-magnetic and typically not heat-treatable, its strength can be enhanced with cold working. Standard grades include 304 and 316.

Duplex Stainless Steel

  • Basic Info
  • About Duplex Stainless Steel Featured Image

    About Duplex Stainless Steel

    Combines austenitic and ferritic structures to offer enhanced strength and resistance to stress corrosion. Solution annealing is usually applied to balance the phases and achieve optimal mechanical performance.

Ferritic Stainless Steel

  • Basic Info
  • About Ferritic Stainless Steel Featured Image

    About Ferritic Stainless Steel

    Magnetic and moderately corrosion-resistant, ferritic stainless steel has good ductility. It cannot be heat-hardened but can be stabilized via annealing, making it suitable for mildly corrosive applications.

Martensitic Stainless Steel

  • Basic Info
  • About Martensitic Stainless Steel Featured Image

    About Martensitic Stainless Steel

    Heat-treatable and magnetic, martensitic stainless steel achieves high hardness and strength through quenching and tempering. While less corrosion-resistant than austenitic types, it is ideal for high-strength, load-bearing robotic components.

    316 Stainless Steel Featured Image
    316 Stainless Steel

    Austenitic Stainless Steel. Chosen for frames that will live in harsh environments to prevent structural "bleeding" or rust streaks.

    430 Stainless Steel Featured Image
    430 Stainless Steel

    Ferritic Stainless Steel. This is a non-nickel alloy that is magnetic. It offers good aesthetics and basic corrosion resistance at a lower price point.

  • End Effectors/Grippers Featured Image
    316L Stainless Steel Featured Image
    316L Stainless Steel

    Austenitic Stainless Steel. The "L" stands for low carbon, which prevents "sensitization" during welding, ensuring the gripper remains sterile and corrosion-resistant.

    17-4 PH Stainless Steel Featured Image
    17-4 PH Stainless Steel

    Martensitic Stainless Steel. Its high hardness ensures the "fingers" of a gripper don't deform or wear down when grabbing heavy or abrasive objects.
