Lork Group high-quality AISI 306 is an austenitic alloy that offers corrosion resistance, strength, and ease of scalability. It has a high chromium content, making it highly resistant to various oxidizing agents and pitting.

Lork Group high-quality AISI 306 (1.4361/ X1CrNiSi18-15-4) is a low carbon Corrosion-Resistant Austenitic Stainless Steel. AISI 306 is usually produced by AOD / EAF followed by electroslag refining (ESR) / VAR if necessary for special purpose.

AISI 306 is an austenitic alloy that offers corrosion resistance, strength, and ease of scalability. It has a high chromium content, making it highly resistant to various oxidizing agents and pitting.

AISI 306 metal also has low thermal expansion and is non-magnetic, making it ideal for industrial applications where accuracy and precision are key considerations. In addition, 306 stainless steel can endure tremendous levels of stress without showing excessive wear or warping. Its excellent tensile strength and ductility make it extremely cost-effective in most industrial environments.

We recommend to weld using TIG or MIG technique. Post-weld heat treatment is not required, but recommended, especially for heavy-duty applications. Pickling is, however, required, preceded by immediate passivation. The alloy belongs to the welding group 8.1

Due to its unique combination of properties, there are many different uses for this type of stainless steel beyond just marine applications. For example, it's commonly used in food processing equipment since its corrosion resistance helps protect against bacteria growth and contamination from food particles or oils.

In addition, its non-magnetic properties make it perfect for use in electronic devices that require an electrically conductive material, such as circuit boards or connectors. Finally, because of its high strength and malleability characteristics, this type of steel is often used in medical equipment such as surgical instruments or implants where precision machining is required.
