Stainless steel applications
General characteristic
It is safe to say that today there is no branch of human activity where stainless steel is not used. This is heavy machinery, household appliances, construction, electronics - a variety of industries. More and more often this material is used in food industry, instrument engineering, oil and chemical industry, power engineering, paper production and transport.
Advantages of stainless steel
It is a very noble, practical and beautiful material. It can satisfy the most demanding requirements in construction and finishing. Of course, corrosion resistance is the most important quality of stainless steel, but it is by no means the only one. Products made of it are characterized by a great variety. It can be both a sheet, a grid and an angle, a rod, a profile, a wire etc
Construction Uses
Despite the fact that stainless steel appeared exactly one hundred years ago in 1913, it began to be used in construction relatively recently. Today, window and doorways, railings, fire doors, elevators and swimming pools are made of such steel. It is widely used to decorate subway stations, restaurants, discos bars and clubs. It is also used to make modern furniture. In the latter case, stainless steel is very successfully combined with other materials - wood, glass and plastic. Decorative steel sheets used in finishing are scratch-resistant and do not stain when touched with the hands. And if the sheet is colored, its color is stable and does not change when the sheet changes shape. Stainless steel was used in the construction and decoration of shopping centers such as La Defense in Paris and London's Canary Wharf, Sony Center in Berlin and Petronas Towers located in Kuala Lumpur.
Use in the home
These days, it's fashionable to have a stainless steel refrigerator and gas stove in your home. Pots made of this material are gradually replacing the usual enamelled ones. Of course, steel cookware is more expensive, but the demand for it is increasing along with the rise in living standards. As stainless steel is highly hygienic, it is widely used in food industry as well. AISI 304 and AISI 316 steel grades fully meet the most stringent hygienic and toxicological requirements. The surface of 2B has an attractive appearance. The steel can be easily polished if required.
Industrial chemistry
Selecting the right grade of stainless steel for use in this field requires expertise. Almost all types of chemical containers, reactors and pipelines are made of this material. Steel no lower than AISI 316L is used, grades with molybdenum content of 6% are often used.
Pulp and Paper Industry
The stainless steel of AISI 316 and grades with molybdenum content of 3 to 6% is used for needs in this sphere. It should be noted that enterprises of this industry use from three to five thousand tons of steel per year. Because of its high corrosion resistance, it is much less polluting than other iron alloys
Transport engineering
Stainless steel tanks and containers are used to transport cargo. They are made of AISI 316L steel. Ten to twenty kilograms of stainless steel is used in the production of a passenger car. Exhaust pipes and catalytic converters are made of it. In the automotive industry, austenitic and ferritic grades of steel are used.
