Stainless Steel Grades

Choosing the right stainless steel grade is critical. The wrong grade can mean premature corrosion, costly replacements, or material that simply does not meet the demands of your application. Each grade offers a unique combination of corrosion resistance, strength, weldability, and finish, and selecting the right one depends on your environment, fabrication process, and performance requirements. Texas Alloys & Tool stocks a broad range of stainless steel grades to cover everything from general fabrication to the most demanding industrial applications. Not sure where to start? Contact our team, and we will help you identify the right grade for your project.

Stainless Steel Applications

Once you have the right grade, stainless steel delivers outstanding performance across a wide range of applications. Its combination of durability, machinability, and corrosion resistance makes it one of the most versatile metals in industrial use. Stainless steel bar and beam stock can be easily machined, drilled, turned, and milled using standard techniques, making it a practical choice for both simple and complex fabrications. Texas Alloys & Tool supplies stainless steel to customers in food processing, energy, plant maintenance, and oil and gas exploration, as well as many other industries throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area and across Texas. Contact us today to inquire about scheduled delivery.

Stainless Steel 304 & 316 Supplier in Texas

Texas Alloys & Tool stocks a wide selection of stainless steel shapes and sizes, with 304, 316, and 416 among our most popular grades. Whether you need sheet, plate, bar, beam, or structural shapes, we carry each in a broad range of sizes to meet the demands of your project.

304 Stainless Steel 

304 stainless steel, also known as "18-8" stainless, is one of the most widely used grades in the world. It contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, giving it excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion, moderately aggressive organic acids, and mild chloride environments. It machines well and is easily formed, welded, and finished, making it a practical and cost-effective choice for a wide range of applications including food processing equipment, kitchen appliances, architectural structures, and general industrial fabrication.

316 Stainless Steel 

316 stainless steel builds on the foundation of 304 with the addition of 2 to 3% molybdenum, which significantly enhances its resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and chemical attack. This makes 316 the preferred grade for more demanding environments, including marine equipment, chemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and medical devices. While both grades are weldable using standard techniques, 316 may require additional precautions to prevent intergranular corrosion in the heat-affected weld zone.

Industries Served

We understand our customers and strive to provide the best customer service for multiple industries. Texas Alloys, a stainless steel 304 & 316 supplier, supplies stainless steel to every type of business throughout Texas. Below is a list of industries Texas Alloys serves.

Frequently Asked Questions

 
The key difference is molybdenum. 304 stainless steel, also known as "18-8" stainless, contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, offering excellent corrosion resistance for everyday applications like kitchen equipment, food processing, and general fabrication. 316 stainless steel contains the same base composition plus 2 to 3% molybdenum, giving it superior resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and chemical attack in marine, medical, and chemical processing environments where 304 may fall short. For most standard applications, 304 is a great cost-effective choice, but if your project involves saltwater, harsh chemicals, or highly corrosive conditions, 316 is the right call.
We stock stainless steel in a wide variety of shapes including bar, sheet, plate, beam, angle, channel, and other structural shapes, all available in a broad range of sizes. Custom cutting is also available to meet your exact specifications.
Texas Alloys & Tool stocks a broad range of stainless steel grades including 304/304L, 316/316L, 303, 310, 416, 440, 630, 17-4, and Alloy 20. If you have a specific grade requirement not listed here, contact our team and we will do our best to source it for you.
The "L" designation stands for low carbon. 304L and 316L have a reduced carbon content, which minimizes the risk of carbide precipitation during welding. This makes the L grades the preferred choice for welded fabrications that will be exposed to corrosive environments after welding. For most non-welded applications, standard 304 or 316 is sufficient.
