The main advantage of stainless steel

Corrosion resistance is the main advantage of stainless steel, but it certainly isn’t the only one. Stainless steel is also:

High and low temperature resistant

Easily fabricated

Strong and durable

Easy cleaned and maintained

Long lasting, with a low lifecycle cost

Aesthetically attractive

Environmentally friendly and recyclable.

In addition to chromium, stainless steels are made with alloys of silicon, nickel, carbon, nitrogen, and manganese. Nitrogen, for example, improves tensile properties like ductility. Nickel is added to austenitic steel to improve flexibility. These alloys are added in varying amounts and combinations to meet specific end-use applications, which is why it’s very important for stainless steel manufacturers to verify that the correct percentages of each alloy are being used. There are two technologies that provide the elemental analysis needed to produce high quality stainless steel: X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) and Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES).
