General Information About Stainless Steel

Nowadays, stainless steel is used in almost all branches of industry, architecture and design.

General information about stainless steel

The main thing about stainless steel (an iron alloy with at least 10.5% chromium) is its anti-corrosion properties, which arise as a result of the formation of a layer of chromium oxide on the surface of the metal.

This layer has the ability to quickly recover from mechanical or chemical damage, while the anti-corrosion properties of the metal remain unchanged. Anti-corrosion properties are irreplaceable with high sanitary and hygienic requirements (food, pharmaceutical industries, household appliances), aggressive environments (chemical industry, energy, automotive industry, mechanical engineering). In addition to the anti-corrosion property, stainless steel has many other valuable properties for construction - it is a very durable and practical material and at the same time exquisite and aesthetic.

Stainless rolled metal is convincing as a material in itself. The long service life of stainless steel, easy cleaning methods and minimal maintenance costs with certain surface treatments confirm its ideal use in areas of intensive contact.

In cases where high quality standards are set, optimum properties are required - professionally processed stainless steel is an indispensable material.

At the stages of development, planning and implementation of designer or purely functional objects, the choice of material is of great importance.

Stainless steel is a refined and indispensable material for interior and exterior architectural elements, where the use of this material is exclusive and intended for original projects.

Especially in this area, stainless steel combines harmoniously with other materials. It can be ideally combined with almost all building materials or be the main element in a unique architectural composition.

On the other hand, the functional properties of this material, its durability and practicality, all satisfying the user, play a major role.

The great advantages of this material are increasingly attracting the attention of architects and builders when planning facades.

High strength and good ductility of stainless steel ensure its wide use.
