Mistakes about Stainless Steel Corrected

Application of stainless steel and correction of common misunderstandings

1.Application of stainless steel 

Stainless steel is extensively used in construction, tranconstruction, chemical industry, energy, packaging, household appliances and petroleum industry.

Most steel can be used in construction industry and sustainable steel structures can meet the needs of various infrastructure projects. With excellent elasticity, strength, ductility and corrosion resistance, engineering steel widely used in most general engineering and manufacturing fields. The energy sector like nuclear energy, wind energy, electricity,gas and offshore pipeline etc as infrastructure. It’s widely use stainless steel package because of recycling. Nearly 75% of typical household appliances come from steel.


2.Types of Stainless Steel 

Stainless steel, a high alloy steel with the features of corrosion resistance and beautiful surface, which is no need for surface treatment such as color plating and painting. The so-called ferrous material needs the ati-rust treatment.


It can simply divided into 3 categories like 200 series, 300 series and 400 series. The 200 series contains less nickel, 400 series does not and 300 series contains the most nickel. Therefore, the 300 series stainless steel is the most affected of nickel price.


According to the steel form, it can be divided by 5 categories like roll plate, plate, selectional material, tube and accerssories. The most significant thing is roll and plate. The selectional material can be made of various shape steel such as angle steel, flat steel U-steel and L-beam etc. The steel pipe includes seamless steel pipe and welded pipe, differing in once forming. Parts refer to accessories such as elbow, flanges and other pipeline spare parts.


3. Although the stainless steel have a ability to resist atmospheric oxidation, acid, alkali and salt corrosion, it’s necessary to repair and replace the stainless steel products, especially the petrochemical industry.



Extension—Common Misconceptions About Stainless Steel

Is stainless steel a steel that does not rust?

Stainless steel is not a steel would never rust. It has stronger corrosion resistance than other steels under the same condition which depends on the chemical composition of itself, the influence of mutual state and the media of working envirinment.


Is stainless steel have magnetism?

Stainless steel itself do not have magnetism, but will generate while working. It’s not scientific to test magnetism to decide whether it’s stainless steel because iron also has magnetism.


How to distinguish?

1. Use test potion

2. Analyse the chemical composition by Spectroscope

3. Simulate actual working environment by salt spray test machine.
