Stainless Steel

stainless steel

The term is a bit of a misnomer. There’s no one combination of iron and alloying elements that makes stainless steel what it is. Instead, stainless steel refers to the fact that products made from it do not rust.

Alloys in stainless steels can include chromium, manganese, silicon, nickel and molybdenum. These alloys work together to interact with oxygen in water and air to quickly form a thin but strong film over the steel that prevents further corrosion.

Stainless Steel Pipe

Stainless steel pipe is primarily used in piping systems for the transport of fluids or gases. We manufacture steel pipe from a steel alloy containing nickel as well as chromium, which give stainless steel its corrosion-resistant properties. Stainless steel pipe resists oxidation, making it a low-maintenance solution that is suitable for high temperature and chemical applications. Because it is easily cleaned and sanitized, stainless steel pipe is also desired for applications involving food, beverages, and pharmaceutical applications.

Types of Stainless Steel

  • Austenitic metal: Chromium-nickel alloys.
  • Ferritic steel: Plain chromium steel.
  • Martensitic steel: Chromium and carbon.
  • Precipitation hardening metal: Chromium-nickel.
  • Duplex: A combination of austenitic and Ferritic.
