Stainless steel is a durable and reliable material that compares favorably with other metals. Today stainless steel sheet is used wherever resistance to corrosion, aggressive environment, combined with hygiene and practicality is required.
Stainless steel sheet: area of use
Stainless steel sheet is widely used in various industries:
- chemical;
- petrochemical;
- agricultural;
- mechanical engineering;
- medical;
- pharmaceutical;
- food.
Stainless steel sheets are used for the production of various containers, welded products, as interior and exterior decoration. Corrosion-proof sheet is actively used in construction for the production of various interior details, doors, for facing the facades of buildings, fences, and so on.
Benefits of stainless steel
Due to its high anti-corrosion resistance, stainless steel can be used in places with excessive humidity and unfavorable environmental conditions, since it has:
- long-term operation;
- the perfect combination of weight and strength;
- resistance to aggressive environmental influences, temperature extremes, corrosion.
The production of stainless steel sheet is easy, which makes it possible to produce products with an aesthetic appearance that remains so for many years.
Stainless steel sheet: types
It is customary to classify stainless steel by grades that characterize the chemical composition of the product and determine the properties of the material. The modern market offers a wide range of types of sheet steel. They differ in performance, surface type and other factors. This allows you to choose the material that is ideal for all criteria.
By production method, stainless steel can be:
- cold rolled production;
- etched or decorative;
- hot-rolled production.
Stainless steel sheet is very popular because it has excellent performance, and the price of the material quickly pays for itself during operation.
