Stainless steel is often used in business and everyday life because of its characteristic resistance to corrosion.
In the oil refining industry, pipes are often made of stainless steel because of its ability to tolerate extremely high temperatures and acids.
Its resistance to bacteria and resistance to rust make it ideal for restaurants, craft breweries, medical equipment manufacturers and manufacturing process equipment.
The future of stainless steel welding
Stainless steel is a bit more difficult to weld because of how well it retains heat. It can also be very unforgiving when it comes to appearance as it shows every blemish and scratch.
All of this means that stainless is less forgiving of mistakes and tends to favor more experienced welders.
Stainless steel is resistant to all types of corrosion under normal circumstances. But in extreme conditions, stainless steel can rust.
This happens when the chromium oxide layer, which prevents stainless steel from rusting, is damaged or removed.
A numerical rating is used to classify each type of stainless steel. Series numbers 200, 300, 400, 600 and 2000 are the most commonly used.
The most popular types are austenitic chromium-nickel alloys of type 304 and 316L. The 400 series of stainless steel, which is obtained from ferritic and martensitic chromium alloys, is used to make cutlery. Type 420 is called surgical steel, while type 440 is used to make razor blades.
Galvanized steel and stainless steel are often used to make manholes and access covers in the water treatment and chemical industries.
When it comes to welding stainless steel, quality and precision are of the utmost importance.
A poorly welded joint can compromise the quality of the final product, leading to safety hazards and damage to your brand reputation.
