Tips: When and Where to Use Stainless Steel?

Some tips for you about stainless steel using. BEBON will offer stainless steel plates, sheets, coils, strips, bars and pipes. Welcome to contact with us for stainless steel purchasing.
Tip 1: When to use stainless steel?

• When structures are exposed to high chloride environments and/or corrosive industrial environments
• In roads and bridges where de-icing salts are applied
• When non-magnetic reinforcement is necessary or desirable

Tip 2: Where to use stainless steel?

• For sea walls and coastal defences
• In highway bridges and roadways
• In coastal structures
• In historic buildings where longevity is essential
•  In underpasses
• Around magnetic equipment (such as imaging machines in hospitals)
• Wherever reinforced concrete can be subjected to corrosive environments

Tip 3: How to use stainless steel cost-effectively:

• By placing it in the elements of the structure at high risk to corrosion of where repair isdifficult or expensive. Carbon steel can be used for the nil corrosion risk elements.
• A separating barrier between stainless steel and carbon steel reinforcement is not necessary in concrete. Galvanic reaction is not a design consideration as proven by test.
