Heat Treatment’s Role in Unlocking Stainless Steel Performance
Why is surface treatment so important? The reason why stainless steel is "rust-proof" mainly depends on a very thin and strong chromium-rich oxide film (passivation film) on its surface. The surface treatment process not only determines the appearance and text...Read more -
How Stainless Steel Thickness Affects Performance
Why does thickness matter? The thickness of stainless steel directly influences its mechanical properties, thermal behavior, and overall performance in specific applications. Understanding these effects is essential for optimizing product design, ...Read more -
How to choose stainless steel surfaces: From 2B, BA to HL, No.4
Why is surface treatment so important? The reason why stainless steel is "rust-proof" mainly depends on a very thin and strong chromium-rich oxide film (passivation film) on its surface. The surface treatment process not only determines the appearance and text...Read more -
The Role of Nickel in Austenitic Stainless Steel
Why Nickel Is Essential in Austenitic Stainless Steel Austenitic stainless steel is defined by its face-centered cubic (FCC) crystal structure, which remains stable at room temperature largely due to the presence of nickel. Without sufficient nick...Read more -
The Mystery Of Stainless Steel
The history of stainless steel The history of stainless steel originated from an accidental discovery in the early 20th century. In 1913, the British metallurgist Harry When Harry Brearley was researching wear-resistant gun barrel m...Read more -
Work Hardening in Stainless Steel: Causes and Effects
What Is Work Hardening in Stainless Steel? Work hardening, also called strain hardening, is the increase in strength and hardness that occurs when stainless steel undergoes plastic deformation such as cold rolling, bending, stamping, or deep drawi...Read more -
Stainless Steel vs Mild Steel: What Is The Difference?
The difference between stainless steel and mild steel When selecting materials for construction, manufacturing, or DIY projects, the choice between stainless steel and mild steel is fundamental. While both are forms of steel—an allo...Read more -
An Introduction to AOD, VOD and MOD Refining Processes
Why Secondary Refining Matters in Stainless Steel Production Stainless steel requires precise control of carbon, chromium, and alloy elements. During melting, high carbon levels and oxidation losses can reduce corrosion resistance and mechanical p...Read more -
What Makes Stainless Steel Stainless?
The mystery of Stainless Steel Stainless steel got its name from one of its most notable properties, namely that it is highly resistant to corrosion, tarnishing, and rust. The finished surface of the metal is less likely to become “...Read more -
The Four Major Classifications Of Stainless Steel
Austenitic Steel Austenitic phase stainless steel is comprised of nickel and molybdenum as its main alloying elements, and has a face-centered cubic crystal structure. The addition of nickel increases its corrosion resistance and du...Read more
