They provide top-notch forged components that cater to a wide range of industrial needs. Adhering to ASTM A182 standards, Dhruv Metals offers an impressive selection of forged products, including flanges, shafts, rings, and custom parts, all recognized for their durability, strength, and resistance to corrosion. Stainless Steel 304 is one of the most popular austenitic grades, and Dhruv Metals is committed to delivering precise manufacturing and dependable performance. With a strong emphasis on customer satisfaction, the company serves various industries, such as petrochemical, construction, food processing, and marine sectors, both in India and around the globe.
Stainless Steel 304 Forgings are crafted from an austenitic alloy that contains roughly 18–20% chromium and 8–10.5% nickel. This unique blend provides the alloy with remarkable corrosion resistance across a variety of environments. The forgings boast a tensile strength of about 515 MPa, a yield strength of 205 MPa, and an elongation of 40%. They also demonstrate impressive toughness, formability, and weldability. Stainless Steel 304 retains its mechanical integrity at both room and elevated temperatures, making it a fantastic choice for forging applications that demand strength, machinability, and durability in mildly corrosive settings.
