Why use stainless steel?

The uniqueness of stainless steel products make it a powerful candidate in materials selection. Most often, people usually underestimate and overlook these characteristics because of what is viewed as the higher initial cost of the products. However, over the total life of a project, stainless is often the best value option. Stainless steel products help to ensure a high quality of life. It does not only meet the technical performance standard, but also have a long service life, recyclable and environment friendly. Here are the benefits and advantages of using stainless steel products:

Corrosion Resistance
Lower alloyed grades resist corrosion in atmospheric and pure water environments. This is because the chromium content of the steel allows the formation of a tough, adherent, corrosion-resisting chromium oxide film on the screen surface.

Hygiene
The easy cleaning ability of stainless steel makes it the first choice for strict hygiene conditions, such as hospitals, kitchens,and food processing.

Fire and Heat Resistance
Special high chromium and nickel-alloyed grades resist scaling and retain strength at high temperature. This makes them very suitable for use in the kitchen. These tiles also aren't susceptible to humidity, so they're useful in the bathroom too.

Aesthetic Appearance
The bright, easily maintained surface of stainless provides a modern and attractive appearance.

Ease Fabrication
Modern steel-making techniques mean that stainless can be cut, welded, formed machined and fabricated as readily as traditional steels.

Long Term Value
When the total life cycle cost is considered, stainless steel is often the least expensive material option. They won't rust over time, and when you're done with them, you can even have them recycled.
