Stainless steel
Stainless steel is an alloyed steel containing at least 10.5% chromium and usually other alloying elements such as nickel or molybdenum. These alloying elements give stainless steel its special properties, such as high corrosion resistance, strength and hardness. Here are some characteristics of stainless steel:
Corrosion resistance:
Stainless steel is very resistant to corrosion, which means it does not rust or rusts very slowly. It is therefore particularly suitable for applications where it may come into contact with moisture or aggressive substances, such as kitchen appliances or fittings.Hardness and strength: Stainless steel is a very hard and strong material that has a high tensile strength. It is therefore suitable for applications where strength and durability are important, such as knives or tools.
Stainless steel is a very hard and strong material.
Hygienic properties: stainless steel is a hygienic material because it is easy to clean and disinfect. It is therefore frequently used in the food industry and medical equipment.
&Aesthetics: Stainless steel has a silver shiny surface, which makes it an aesthetically pleasing material for products such as watches, jewelry or kitchen accessories.
Overall, stainless steel is a versatile material with many different applications. It offers a combination of corrosion resistance, hardness, strength, hygienic properties and aesthetics that make it a preferred material for many manufacturers of products such as kitchen appliances, tools, watches or jewelry.
