Overview

About Stainless Steel

Hong Ying Tooling machines 303, 304, and 316 stainless steel. 303 is free-machining for precision turned parts. 304 is the general-purpose workhorse with excellent corrosion resistance. 316 adds molybdenum for superior resistance to chlorides and acids, making it ideal for marine, chemical, and surgical instruments. Our passivation and electropolishing services complete the finish.
