One of the major advantages on all stainless steel products is that they have a high corrosion resistance, allowing it to be used in all types of environments. Even at elevated temperatures and pressures it is resistance to fire and heat. Low alloyed grades resist corrosion in atmospheric conditions and highly alloyed grades can resist corrosion in most acids, alkaline solutions, and chloride bearing environments.
Today’s modern steel-making techniques allows stainless steel to be welded, cut, machined, fabricated and formed as readily as traditional steels. It offers long term value created by its long useful life cycle which often yields the least expensive material option.
High and low temperature resistance:
Fire and heat resistance allows most grades to resist scaling and maintain high strength at the highest temperatures.
Stainless steel is available in many surface finishes. It is easily and simply maintained resulting in a high quality, modern and attractive appearance. Stainless steel appliances can complement almost any kitchen, home design and theme.
The work-hardening property of authenticate grades, that results in significant strengthening of the material from cold-working alone, and the high strength duplex grades. It allows it to be used with a reduced material thickness over conventional grades, often generating cost savings.
The easy cleaning ability of stainless steel makes it the first choice for strict hygiene conditions, such as hospitals, kitchens and abattoirs. Stainless steel is one of the most hygienic surfaces available, so any foods that come into contact with the surface or material do not attract dirt or germs.
Stainless steel is a durable, low maintenance material and is often the least expensive choice in a life cycle cost comparison. To ensure a great quality of life, the materials that you use should not only meet technical performance standards, but have a long service life span, be functional in a great number of applications, and be environmentally friendly. They should also be 100% recyclable.
