What do a bridge, cutlery, and surgical instrument have in common?

Stainless Steel, a perfect blend of Iron, Carbon, and Chromium.

We’ve all heard about steel, but chances are you don’t know much about this interesting material. Whether you’re looking for something strong, and corrosion-resistant for marine, and land environments or something stunning and easy to clean for households as well as restaurants, and laboratories there’s a stainless steel alloy available to suit your needs.

Renewable Resources

Did you know that specifically Stainless Steel is helpful when it comes to renewable resources? It is actually the main component used for delivering solar, hydro, and wind power. This is because steel is the primary material used when making wind turbines and solar panels.

Stainless Steel Varieties

Stainless steel is not affected by rust when exposed to wet environments and can be rolled into sheets, plates, bars, wire, and tubing. These can be used in cookware, cutlery, surgical instruments, major appliances, vehicles, construction material in large buildings, industrial equipment, and storage tanks and tankers for chemicals and food products. While both steel and stainless steels are highly durable. The big difference lies in terms of wear and corrosion resistance. Stainless steel comprises of carbon, iron, and more than 10.5% chromium while steel is an alloy of iron and about 2% carbon. With high chromium content, stainless steel does not rust but can wear quickly when used in wear and tear equipment.

An eco-friendly innovation to satisfy the need of
households and industries.

When it comes to the environment, there’s no competition. When Steel is recycled it does not lose any of its strength. On top of that stainless steel is 100% recyclable. An average stainless steel object is actually composed of about 60% recycled material of which approximately 40% originates from end-of-life products, while the remaining 60% comes from manufacturing processes.

The alarm bells have been ringing for too long, and plastic consumption needs to decrease drastically, or better, disappear completely. Although much of the ocean’s plastic pollution comes from single-use plastics, reusable bottles are still a problem. Reusable or not, a plastic bottle will take hundreds of years to break down. And, when the bottle does start to degrade, it will leak toxic chemicals into the water. On the other side stainless steel has no damaging effects on the soil and water. A real game changer.

Breaking habits of using single-used resources

In a world surrounded by a lot of single-use and convenient items, it might seem a little difficult to look into sustainability. Changing the use of single-used items and utensils on a large scale is not going happen tomorrow but slowly integrating them into our life is going to make a difference for us and for the future generation.

Durability

With proper care, stainless steel accessories can last a lifetime. In many cases, cookware and cutlery are even being passed down to the next generation. This metal is really tough, durable, and can even withstand severe heat and temperatures far below freezing.

Grades of Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel 304, Duplex 2205 or Super Duplex 2507?

Manufacturers usually produce different grades of stainless steel. These different grades are suited for various functionalities and have differing applications. Each grade of stainless steel is determined by stain resistance levels. Different amounts of chromium and carbon are used for different grades.

As an example, Stainless Steel 304 is one of the most versatile and widely used stainless steel available in a wide range of alternatives. Grade 304 is known for its high tensile strength of roughly 621 MPa (90 ksi) and a high maximum operating temperature. It is therefore generally used in the architectural field for exterior accents such as water and fire features but also for a variety of household and industrial applications.

Duplex 2205 on the other hand permits the use of thinner sections and helps weight reduction. They are used for cargo tanks for ships and trucks, food processing equipment, and Oil and gas exploration and processing equipment.
