Duplex

Duplex These are stainless steels containing relatively high chromium (between 18 and 28%) and moderate amounts of nickel (between 4.5 and 8%). The nickel content is insufficient to generate a fully austenitic structure and the resulting combination of ferritic and austenitic structures is calle... Read More

What is Stainless Steel?

Stainless steel is a generic term for a family of corrosion resistant alloy steels containing 10.5% or more chromium. All stainless steels have a high resistance to corrosion. This resistance to attack is due to the naturally occurring chromium-rich oxide film formed on the surface of the steel. ... Read More

WHAT IS STAINLESS STEEL?

WHAT IS STAINLESS STEEL? Stainless steel is an iron and chromium alloy. While stainless must contain at least 10.5% chromium, the exact components and ratios will vary based on the grade requested and the intended use of the steel.   HOW STAINLESS STEEL IS MADE The exact process for a grade ...

Brushed Surfaces

Brushed Surfaces Some stainless steel goes through a finishing grinding and polishing process. Coatings can also be applied, such as electroplating and galvanizing coatings. Stainless steel can have a very shiny mirror-like finish. Some stainless steel can have a brushed finish, which gives the ... Read More

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel Steel is a metal. It is an alloy of the elements iron and carbon. It typically contains less than 2 percent carbon, and may have some manganese and other elements. Stainless steel’s primary alloying element is chromium. It contains between 12 to 30 percent chromium and may ... Read More

What is polished stainless steel used for?

Stainless steel sheet is produced in many types of finishes due to the various uses and applications that stainless steel can be used in. It has become popular in kitchens due to its low maintenance, cleanliness, appearance, and corrosion resistance to food acids and water. For example, the most ... Read More
