| Stainless Steel 1.4003 / 3CR12 Multi Metals stocks a broad and exceptional range of 1.4003 sheet, plate and box section. 1.4003 is a weldable, ferritic, durable utility stainless steel, offering the benefits of traditional stainless steel – strength, corrosion/abrasion resistance, durability, low maintenance – with the additions of good weldability and formability. 1.4003 is proven to be a durable alternative to mild steel. It offers major advantages to coated and treated mild steel or aluminium, as many coating processes can be eliminated. 1.4003 offers significant cost savings compared to other conventional high specification alloyed steels where strength corrosion resistance and durability are needed. |
