Low maintenance, lustrous, with a high resistance to corrosion, staining & heat. These physical properties make stainless steel the ideal material in applications where both strength & corrosion resistance are required.
Austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, duplex & precipitation hardening. Stainless steel is classified under these 5 families based on their crystalline structure. There are also over 150 grades, of which 15 are commonly used.
Stainless steel's characteristics make it a key material for much of the world's building. The most obvious of these valuable characteristics is a resistance to corrosion. By resisting rust, stainless steel is applicable is a huge range of applications, including those in conditions where the elements wreak havoc on lesser metals. In addition to corrosion security, stainless steel's beneficial properties include:
