General characteristics

Stainless steel products are at the peak of development today. The major part of industries has switched to stainless steel products. The reason is the superiority of this material by a number of qualities: high corrosion resistance, durability, hygienic properties and excellent appearance. The use of stainless steel in all industries provides reliability, quality and safety. Let's make an overview of industries in which stainless steel is used.

1) Chemical

The chemical industry uses stainless steel bends, vessels and tubes of austenitic type. Steel grades with a high percentage of molybdenum (up to 6%) are used in an acid environment.

2) Food

The basic materials for production and storage are: plastic, glass and stainless steel. Stainless steel has high hygienic standards, which mainly makes it the preferred material. At all stages of food production it is necessary to ensure cleanliness and safety. There are certain standards to avoid heavy metals from getting into the food. Stainless steel must release very small amounts of nickel and chromium into the food. Therefore, it is better to use austenitic type steel. It releases from its surface heavy metals not more than 1% of the sanitary standards. Another requirement relates to the dense and homogeneous structure. Products must be perfectly smooth, even, have no scratches.

3) Paper.

Paper and pulp mills use stainless steel equipment with a molybdenum content of 3-6%. This is necessary to prevent corrosion, since most of the processes involve the circulation of liquids. For one average factory consumption of stainless steel is 3 thousand tons, the largest amount of stainless steel goes for pipes.

4) Electric Power

Electric power is mostly produced by burning oil, gas and coal. A large portion of the electric power industry is produced at nuclear power plants. There are high demands on the quality of steel. As a rule, high-alloy stainless steel is used here, which best resists corrosion and damage.
