Currently, many industries are using stainless steel. In addition to traditional industries and marine construction, the use of household appliances is also increasing.

Although stainless steel is more expensive than low-carbon steel, its excellent performance can extend its service life and reduce cycling costs. Therefore, in the long run, larger upfront costs will be rewarded in the long run.

We know that steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, with a maximum carbon content of 2.1%. Stainless steel is a group of steel that is resistant to corrosion by adding alloying elements.

Its prominent feature is a high content of chromium. Stainless steel contains at least 10.5% chromium, which can improve its corrosion resistance and strength.

When exposed to air, chromium in the alloy forms a passivation layer during oxidation. This layer serves as a barrier to prevent further corrosion, essentially preventing the alloy from rusting. This mechanism allows for a spotless appearance to be maintained for a long time under normal working conditions.

The Benefits of Stainless Steel

As demand increases, production increases, making it more affordable than ever before. The increase in demand has led to the availability of standard and non-standard sizes. In addition, there are various stainless steel finishes to choose from.

In addition to polished finishes, a series of patterned and colored surfaces are also available. This makes it possible to find options that are suitable for your needs.

Stainless steel is also 100% recyclable. In fact, half of stainless steel production comes from scrap metal. This makes it a relatively environmentally friendly material.

Application

Stainless steel is a widely used material. When both the characteristics and corrosion resistance of steel are required, it is the preferred choice.

Its first use was in tableware because of its strong corrosion resistance. Next, the road to the chemical industry was opened up. Today, we can see stainless steel almost everywhere. For example, applications include manufacturing small parts for watches. Meanwhile, large panels with a certain surface finish may cover the entire building. Some industries that widely use stainless steel:

Food and Catering

Chemical

Medical device manufacturing

Architecture and Construction

Household Electric Appliances

Offshore and Shipbuilding

Automobile manufacturing

Energy and Industry
