STAINLESS STEEL & Metal Fabrication

An alloy of iron with a minimum of 10.5% chromium. Chromium produces a thin layer of oxide on the surface of the steel known as the ‘passive layer.’ 

The chromium in the steel is what allows the steel to be corrosion-resistant, creating a tough and invisible surface. Some of the qualities of stainless steel include:

• The ability to self-heal with the presence of oxygen. Although chromium plays a significant role in stainless steel’s ability to self-heal, there are other elements at play, including molybdenum, nickel and nitrogen.
• There are more than 60 grades of stainless steel.

 

100% Recyclable

More and more organizations are choosing to remain aware of the impact that they are having on their communities at large. Over 50% of stainless steel comes from previously melted stainless steel scraps, reducing waste.

 

Ease of Fabrication

Working with stainless steel is only a challenge if your fabricator is working with outdated equipment. With the use of top-of-the-line, modern choices, stainless steel can be cut, welded and everything in-between with ease.

 

Corrosion Resistant

Being corrosion resistant impacts the overall value and long-term investment of working with stainless steel. Chromium allows the steel to remain resistant to corrosion while different levels of alloy impact corrosion in different settings. For use in wet elements, lower grades of alloy work best. For use around acid and alkaline solutions, a higher alloy grade is a better option.

 

Fire and Heat Resistant

Adding more value to the long-term investment of stainless steel is its resistance to fire and heat. Choosing high chromium and nickel-alloyed grades allow you to use stainless steel effectively in boilers, valves, feed water heaters and other heat exchangers.

 

Long-Term Value

The long-term value of working with stainless steel far outweighs the initial investment that often turns the uninformed away. The life cycle cost should always be a part of the decision making. Choosing a maintenance-free product like stainless steel allows you to focus on a great process and product.

 

 

 

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it may be possible for a person to become infected by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose or eyes.

Designer inspiration for current world pandemic (COVID-19).

 

“A recent report from newspaper said that the coronavirus had been found on a doorknob.”

 

 

Think of all the frequently touched surfaces where germs can lurk: kitchen counters, bathroom counters, doorknobs, elevator buttons, the handle on the refrigerator, handrails on staircases. The list goes on and on.

 

Experts don’t know for sure how long the novel coronavirus can survive on these surfaces. But if the virus behaves like other, similar viruses, the survival time could range from several hours to several daysTrusted Source.

 

The type of surface, the temperature of the room, and the humidity in the environment may play a role in how long the virus can survive on a surface.

 

But since we don’t know for sure, if you think a surface may be contaminated, clean it thoroughly with a disinfectant. A diluted bleach solution or an EPA-approved disinfectant is likely the most effective Trusted Source cleaner for this purpose.Clean is a MUST solution for this pandamic COVID-19.
