Stainless steel castings

Stainless steel is a type of metal alloy that is composed of iron, chromium, and other metals. It is known for its strength and corrosion resistant properties, making it an ideal material for a wide range of applications.

Also called inox steel, stainless steels are used in everything from stainless steel cookware to medical technology, and it is even used in the construction of buildings.

The main component of stainless steel is iron, which is combined with chromium and other metals to create the metal alloy.

Chromium is applied as stainless steel’s protective layer. The chromium layer prevents oxidation, which is what causes rust. In addition to that, its iron content makes the stainless steel a low maintenance metal.

The other metals that are used in stainless steels can vary, but they are typically nickel, molybdenum, and nitrogen. The addition of these elements gives stainless steel its unique mechanical properties.
