Stainless steel is the main component of low-carbon nickel chromium alloy steel, nickel and chromium in accordance with the ratio of nickel into stainless steel and chrome series stainless steel series. Stainless steel in accordance with its organizational structure into austenite, martensite, ferrite and precipitation hardening stainless steel. Appearing on the market its high-quality stainless … Read more
Abstract: For melting and refining of stainless steel grades there are many different process routes. The individual choice is influenced by raw material availability, desired final product, existing shop logistics and capital economics. In general the stainless steel making process can be classified as a Duplex or Triplex type. The Duplex refining process which is … Read more
While the original form of stainless steel, (iron with around 12% Chromium) is still in widespread use, engineers now have a wide choice of different types (grades). In all, there are more than 100 different grades but these are usually sub-classified into distinct metallurgical "families" such as the austenitic, ferritic, martensitic and duplex families. For … Read more
It is, of course, the rust-resisting characteristic which gives stainless steel its name. However, soon after its discovery, it was realised that the material had many more valuable properties which make it suitable for a vast range of diverse uses. In fact, the number of uses to which stainless steel can be put are almost … Read more
What is Stainless Steel? The material we know as stainless steel (also commonly referred to as "Inox" or "Rostfrei") is such a common feature of 21st century living that there can be few of us who have not seen or handled articles made from it. But how many of us really know what stainless steel … Read more
1912 English metallurgist Harry Brearley invents stainless steel in his search for an alloy to protect cannon bores from erosion. The first commercial production of stainless steel occurs in August, 1913. 1915 During World War I, stainless steel is used to manufacture valves for aircraft engines. 1919-1923 Sheffield cutlers start regular production of stainless steel … Read more
Introduction Stainless steel is used in many everyday applications in the home, in industry, in hospitals, in food processing, in farming, in aerospace and in many other areas. This website is designed to acquaint the reader with some of the many uses of stainless steel. Stainless steel is not just one alloy but a series … Read more
February 3, 2009 – Specially targeted for use in the Food & Beverage Industries, E2EH inductive proximity sensors in a food-grade 316L stainless steel housing provide reliable metal object or machine part detection in demanding environments. The sensor to withstands high-temperatures up to 120 degrees Celsius and resist corrosion from detergents and disinfectants used in … Read more
Conventional wisdom holds that solar plants using mirrors — which generate heat that produces steam that, in turn, spins an electrical generator — aren’t worth the effort in Florida because of the regularity of afternoon rain clouds much of the year. So far, all of the solar plants built in the state convert sunlight directly … Read more
The next time you raise a nonrusty fork to your mouth at a meal, you should think of Harry Brearley, the English metallurgist credited with discovering the steel alloy we commonly call "stainless." Actually, stainless steel wasn’t entirely Brearley’s doing. Metallurgists for nearly a century before him had been toying with different metal mixes, trying … Read more
