General Classification

The properties of stainless steels, like any other materials, are primarily determined by their compositions which further determine the structure [3]. Stainless steels are generally classified according to their microstructure as ferritic, austenitic, duplex, martensitic and precipitation-hardening. The relationship between composition, structure and properties of different grades of stainless steels is summarized in Fig.2.
