Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is a type of alloy steel that resists rust and other forms of corrosion and has an attractive appearance. Stainless steel contains chromium which provides the unique stainless and corrosion resisting properties. Stainless steel has a unique self-healing property. Due to the alloying elements used, a thin, transparent layer is formed on the surface. In case the surface is scratched or damaged otherwise, this thin layer, which is only a few atoms thick, immediately rebuilds with the assistance of oxygen from air or water. This is the reason why stainless steel does not require any coating or other corrosion protection to remain bright and shiny even after decades of use.

Stainless Steel Properties

Stainless steel products have many significant advantages over other metals:

  • Resists corrosion
  • Retains strength even at high temperatures
  • Hygienic due to the smooth and minimally porous surface (useful for hospitals and food processing plants)
  • Bright aesthetic appearance
  • Easily machined, welded, formed and fabricated
  • Usually non-magnetic - useful for aerospace applications
  • Excellent fatigue and impact resistance - useful in automotive body building
  • High resistance to shock at low and high temperatures
  • Yields durable long-life products
