•What is A2 grade stainless steel?A2 stainless steel is a specific grade of stainless steel also known as AISI 304 or 18/8 stainless steel.It is a versatile and widely used stainless steel alloy that offers excellent corrosion resistance, good strength, and ease of fabrication.
•What are the advantages of A2 stainless steel? A2 stainless steel offers good strength and durability, allowing it to withstand heavy loads and resist deformation, it is highly resistant to corrosion and it is non-porous, which means it does not harbor bacteria or other pathogens easily.
•What is the difference between A2 stainless and A4 stainless?A4 stainless steel (grade 316 or 316L) offers higher corrosion resistance than A2 stainless steel (grade 304), particularly in chloride-rich or marine environments.
•What is metric coarse thread?Metric coarse thread refers to a standard thread pitch used in metric fasteners.It is one of the two most common thread types in metric systems, the other being metric fine thread.
