Where are the properties of stainless steel applicable?

It is difficult to imagine modern life without anti-corrosion steel. The unique properties of stainless steel are used in many areas: in metallurgy, mechanical engineering, chemical and food industries. Stainless steel is resistant to corrosion, which allows it to be used in rather aggressive conditions.
 
However, the properties of steel are not constant and can vary depending on the amount and type of impurities in it. There are different types and grades of stainless steel, each suitable for a particular industry. To understand what type of products is needed for a particular case, it is worthwhile to familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the material.
 
Physical properties of stainless steel
 
Stainless steel gained its popularity due to a wide variety of physical properties, including anti-corrosion. New steels are manufactured with the addition of various kinds of impurities to the main component. The physical properties of stainless steel depending on the type and volume of additives.
 
A number of stainless steel grades can corrode with prolonged use. This is influenced by the impurities of various metals that make up its composition. However, such alloys also have a number of advantages, due to which the probability of oxidation is no longer of such serious importance.
 
The main physical properties of stainless steel that distinguish it from some other metals are:
 
Strength. This quality of steel allows us to produce products that compare favorably with analogs. Resistance to physical exertion does not allow the product to deform, keeping its original appearance for a long time. The reliability of high-quality stainless steel lasts up to 10 years.
 
Resistance to aggressive environments. External conditions practically do not affect the material, making it possible to operate it for a long time while maintaining all its properties.
Heat resistance. All products made of this metal are highly resistant to temperature effects, including when directly heated by fire. They do not change their size, shape, and properties in the event of large temperature differences.
 
Environmental Safety. The anti-corrosion properties of the material prevent it from oxidizing. The metal does not contain components harmful to health, which makes it possible to use it in the food industry.
 
Anti-corrosion properties. They are essential for stainless steel and prevent rust from forming on the metal. Moreover, even alkalis and acids cannot influence the occurrence of corrosion.
 
The appearance of products. It is very different from products made from other metals. The surface of the products remains shiny and clean for a long time.
Compliance.  It is easy to make a product of the required shape from this metal.
 
904L Pipe is a steel grade resistant to high temperatures. In internal combustion engines, this material is used to make exhaust manifold valves.
904L Tube is a heat-resistant stainless steel grade that is used in pyrolysis equipment operating at high temperatures.
 
Duplex 2205 Pipe- pipes, fittings for furnaces, and housings for spark plugs are produced from this brand. Mechanical properties of stainless steel allow it to be used for the production of high-pressure pipes.
