Steel is an essential technical element in any production system. Stainless steel is especially appreciated. It is an alloy of iron and some additives that allows the metal to resist corrosion. Chromium is considered one of the best impurities: the greater its proportion in iron, the stronger the anti-corrosion resistance becomes. In addition, it provides good metal resistance to aggressive environments in principle. You can buy rental with other additional components:
- nickel;
- cobalt;
- molybdenum.
Manufactured products
Various products are made of stainless steel, which are used in household and technical construction:
- versatile pipes;
- steel sheets;
- circles;
- metal tapes and wires;
- small details - hexagons and corners.
Types and features
The entire range of stainless steel can be divided into two types.
-
Sheet: this includes stainless steel profiles and strips. Divided by:
- hot-rolled (up to 4 mm thick);
- cold rolled (different thickness);
- thick hot rolled (4 and more mm thick).
-
Varietal: also divided into several subspecies:
- simple (squares, steel circles, flat stripes);
- shaped (without subdivisions);
- shaped general purpose (T-bars, corner profiles, hexagons, channel bars);
- shaped special order (profile sheets for various industrial sectors - machine-building, oil, shipbuilding, etc.).
It is better to find out the price of stainless steel directly from the manufacturing company. In addition to the absence of wrapping, which is done by contractors, you can be sure that in this case the products will be certified, which is the most important factor in the industrial business.
