3CR12, a utility grade stainless steel, has been developed as a low cost grade stainless steel, exhibiting good resistance to wet abrasion and mildly corrosive environments.

This material provides a superior alternative to coated carbon steels and other materials which have poor corrosive resistance and give unsatisfactory life.

"3CR12" is a registered trade mark of Columbus Stainless, the original developers of the grade.

All products in the steel ranges can be made in 3CR12 should the application or environment call for a more durable material.
