1. Common Grades at a Glance
The grades below are the ones we work with across our product lines:
| Grade | Type | Typical Use in Our Programs |
|---|---|---|
| SUS304 | Austenitic stainless steel | Food-contact parts — juicer filter baskets |
| 420 | Martensitic stainless steel | Cutting discs and blades needing hardness |
| 430 | Ferritic stainless steel | Slicing, shredding and julienne discs |
| Carbon Steel | Carbon steel | Blades and parts where carbon steel is specified per project requirements |
2. How We Select Material by Application
- Juicer filter baskets — SUS304 food-grade stainless steel (corrosion resistance, food contact)
- Food processor discs — 420/430 stainless steel (cutting edge hardness and corrosion resistance)
- Blender blades — stainless steel, grade confirmed against project requirements
- Robot lawn mower blades — stainless steel or carbon steel, with heat treatment and surface coating per project
- Deep drawn parts — stainless steel and other metals depending on application
3. Why the Grade Must Be Confirmed Early
Material choice affects tooling design, forming behavior, heat treatment steps and unit cost — changing the grade after tooling is built can mean reworking dies and re-qualifying the part. That is why the grade is confirmed during project review, before tooling development begins.
