About stainless steel

Corten steel (COR-TEN steel, corten steel, corten, Corten Steel) - this is weather-resistant steel (under certain conditions) or "rusty" steel, which belongs to the group of alloy steels that have high resistance to atmospheric corrosion. This is the case when the rust itself on the surface of the metal prevents the spread of rust deep into the material and makes its further destruction impossible.

Welding | Processing

Electrolytic-plasma polishing of stainless steel (electroplasma polishing) is a process of treating the surface of stainless steel based on physical phenomena occurring on the surface of the metal being treated, immersed in an electrolyte, under the influence of direct current with a voltage of hundreds of volts, when a vapor-plasma shell is formed over the surface being treated, that is, a thin film of ionized vapor and gas formed as a result of local boiling of the electrolyte.

EN 10357 | DIN 11850 - is a European standard defining the dimensions, tolerances and manufacturing conditions for stainless steel pipes and fittings used in the chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries. The standard covers both welded and seamless pipes and fittings intended for welding into pipe systems. The standard ensures that the pipes are resistant to corrosion and can operate in environments where hygiene and resistance to various substances are critical.
