Stainless steel products

Instant Metals, with over 125 years combined experience in the steel service center industry, offers unparalleled sourcing capabilities for stainless steel distribution all over Indiana, Central and Southern Ohio, as well as Central Illinois and parts of Southern Michigan. Instant Metals supplies a high quality choice in stainless steels: corrosion resistant alloys with a usually long life expectancy. Instant Metals supplies stainless steel types T303, T304, and T316, 2B and polished sheets as well as plates, angles, rounds, flats, squares, and tubing. T303, T304 and T316 are all non-magnetic. Whatever your stainless steel requirements, Instant Metals provides ordering flexibility. Whether you need a single stainless steel plate, rod, or tube, Instant Metals will work with you to provide a speedy delivery or pick-up solution. There are no minimum order requirements and we will deliver your stainless steel products from our own fleet of trucks when you need them.

Instant Metals offers the flexibility, ingenuity, and experience required to provide the right solution for your stainless steel needs. Our austenitic iron-chromium-nickel stainless steels T303, T304, T316, in the fully annealed heat-treated condition, are fracture tough at cryogenic temperatures and paramagnetic with relative magnetic permeability at around 1.05. Type 303 is equivalent to ISO[2]2 A1. T303 is made when close tolerances are required and turning, center-less grinding is employed. Type 304 is the most common in the classic 18/8 stainless steel and is equivalent to ISO A2 as a low carbon, chromium-nickel alloy. It is highly corrosion resistant and is non-magnetic. It requires heavier equipment to machine, but is easier to weld than type 303 and minimizes carbide precipitation during welding. It also offers excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosives and atmospheric exposures. Our T316 plates are especially corrosion resistant and resist pitting and most of the chemicals used in the paper, textile and photographic industries requiring high temperature strength. Type 316 is ideal for food applications as well as surgical stainless steel.

From sheets, plates, angles, rounds, flats, squares, and tubing Instant Metals prides itself in finding the appropriate stainless steel to meet your requirements. Since corrosion attacks at the surface of the material, it is important to ensure that the surface finish is suitable and that the surface is clean and uncontaminated, particularly from non-stainless contact. The alloy is milled into sheets, plates, bars, wire, and tubing to be used in cookware, cutlery, hardware, surgical instruments, major appliances, industrial equipment, and building material in skyscrapers and large buildings. Instant Metals provides high quality stainless steels for your custom use from individual components to large scale orders. We handle whatever you need.

Instant Metals also supplies stainless steels which are stronger than the austenitics in the annealed condition and so can be used in thinner sections to save weight and cost. Stainless steels are easily cleansable and obvious choice for food and beverage manufacturing industries and catering equipment. Stainless steel is 100% recyclable. In fact, over 50% of new stainless steel is made from re-melted scrap metal, rendering it a somewhat eco-friendly material. Instant Metals provides solutions specific to your stainless steel needs which remove the time and hassle of going to the mill. If we do not have what you need in stock, we will find it and get it to you quickly. Call Instant Metals today so we can satisfy your stainless steel requirements!
