About stainless steel

Powdered stainless steel is a type of stainless steel produced by combining small particles of steel, alloying elements, and other additives in a vacuum or inert atmosphere. This mixture is then compacted and sintered at high temperatures to produce the finished product.

Biological corrosion of stainless steel is a process during which stainless metals are destroyed by living organisms such as algae, bacteria, fungi and larger living creatures. Microbiological corrosion of stainless steel is a process of destruction of stainless metal caused by the activity of microorganisms.

Corrosion

Stray current corrosion of stainless steel (electrocorrosion) is a type of corrosion that occurs in the presence of stray current. Stray current is current that flows in paths other than those provided by the circuit. The uniqueness of stray current corrosion of stainless steel is that it can only occur at the discharge point.

Differences between stainless steel, chrome steel and alloys

In today's industrial world, consumers often face a choice between chromed metals and alloys and stainless steel. This decision is far from trivial, since these materials, although similar in appearance, have completely different physical and chemical properties. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Comparison

The compatibility of stainless steel with other metals depends on the specific type/grade of stainless steel and the metal it comes into contact with. Stainless steel is compatible with some metals, but there are some that when combined (in contact) form a galvanic pair, which can lead to rust and subsequent corrosion (bimetallic | galvanic | contact) of your product.

The maximum temperature of stainless steel in air depends on the type of stainless steel and the operating conditions. In general, stainless steels can be used in air at temperatures up to 870 °C. However, some types / grades of stainless steel can withstand higher temperatures. For example, AISI 316 steel can be used up to 1000 °C, and AISI 446 steel up to 1200 °C.

The chemical compatibility and resistance of stainless steel depends on the specific type, grade of steel and the environment with which it comes into contact. There are many different types of stainless steel, each with its own chemical composition and properties. The most common grades include AISI 304 and AISI 316.
