STAINLESS STEELS VERSUS INTERGRANULAR CORROSION
Grade specified as EN 1.4571 (according to European Standard) is stainless steel type 316Ti. This can be called the basic steel grade type 316 (1.4401) […]
EXEMPLARY APPLICATIONS OF CORROSION RESISTANT STEELS
The main difference between heat-resistant and stainless steels is their indented use. The basic operational feature of stainless steels is the resistance to corrosion. Application […]
ELECTROPOLISHING OR GRINDING?
Electropolishing is one of the most complex techniques of electrochemical treatment of steel. The main objective of this process is to obtain smooth surface formed by […]
FERRITIC STEEL
Stainless steel of ferritic structure has good mechanical properties. They are materials of high yield strength, easier to cut and machine, they have good heat […]
AUSTENITIC STEEL
Austenitic steel includes up to 0.15% of carbon and minimum 16% of chromium. At least 6% of nickel is also an important additive, because in […]
