Stainless steel is a universal metal that is used in almost any field of activity. Opened back in 1913 by Harry Brearley, it occupies an important place in the modern life of society. This metal captivates by the fact that, as market experts say from the Internet site www.metpromko.ru , it has an excellent appearance and resistance to corrosion . It is difficult to imagine the modern world without this wonderful metal.
Today the range of stainless steel includes :
- pipes , products that are pipes of various lengths and shapes, both round and square (rectangular), seam or without seam, used both in construction and mechanical engineering.
- sheet metal , cold-rolled or hot-rolled sheets of various profiles
- long products , standard profile products suitable for further use
- special hire , non-standard profile, made according to special orders in a limited edition
The most widespread of the entire abundance of stainless steel assortment are pipes of various profiles and diameters. In second place are sheets, both smooth and perforated (corrugated).
Not so much in demand, but still widely represented are various stainless steel strips, wire and mesh of various diameters, all kinds of cross-section rods, both smooth and with a periodic profile.
But stainless steel was most widely used in the food industry. Here, all of its properties fell into place. Excellent appearance and resistance to corrosion allows the use of stainless steel products directly in contact with food. Making kitchen utensils, tools, finishing workplaces, tables, hobs is not a complete list of those places where you can find stainless steel in the kitchen today.
When considering the possibility of using a stainless steel product, you must always remember that the cost of this material is an order of magnitude higher than that of simple iron. But using it, you can achieve an excellent appearance of the product, reduce its weight and resistance to corrosion, which more than pays off with the further use of the product.
Separately, I would like to emphasize the undeservedly forgotten property of stainless steel as heat resistance and heat resistance. These properties, which were recently used only in industry, are now widely used in the manufacture of household products exposed to high temperatures.
