Common uses of stainless steel products

 

Most of the requirements are to maintain the original appearance of the building for a long time. When determining the type of stainless steel to be selected, the main considerations are the required aesthetic standards, the corrosiveness of the local atmosphere, and the cleaning system to be adopted. However, other applications are increasingly seeking structural integrity or impermeability. For example, the roofs and side walls of industrial buildings. In these applications, the owner's construction cost may be more important than aesthetics, and the surface may not be very clean. The use of 304 stainless steel in a dry indoor environment works quite well.
However, in rural and urban areas, if you want to maintain its appearance outdoors, you need to clean it frequently. In heavily polluted industrial and coastal areas, the surface will be very dirty and even rust. But to achieve the aesthetic effect in the outdoor environment, nickel-containing stainless steel is required. Therefore, 304 stainless steel is widely used in curtain walls, side walls, roofs and other construction purposes, but in severely corrosive industrial or marine atmospheres, 316 stainless steel is best used. There are several design criteria that include 304 and 316 stainless steel.
Because "duplex" stainless steel 2205 has integrated good atmospheric corrosion resistance with high tensile strength and elastic strength, this steel is also included in the European standards. Product shape, in fact, stainless steel is manufactured in full standard metal shapes and sizes, and there are many special shapes. The most commonly used products are made of thin plates and strips, and medium and thick plates are also used to produce special products, such as hot-rolled structural steel and extruded structural steel. There are also round, oval, square, rectangular and hexagonal welded or seamless steel pipes and other forms of products, including profiles, bars, wires and castings. In order to meet the aesthetic requirements of architects, a variety of different commercial surface processing has been developed.
3D printing field
Stainless steel itself has good corrosion resistance, and stainless steel can still maintain its excellent physical and mechanical properties at high temperatures. It is also widely used in the field of 3D printing.
