Stainless Steel – What to Make in Case of Contamination?
The corrosion resistance of stainless steel can be affected by steel contamination, a consequence of carbon steel cutting, grinding and welding operations. Steel contamination. What happens? The presence of contamination on the metal surface creates: The iron particles which are deposited on the surface of stainless steel will oxidize very quickly and form rust. This could also happen […]

Some Clarification About Ultimate Tensile and Yield Strength
Today we are talking about the ultimate tensile and yield strength. In particular, about stainless steel. Yield strength The yield strength is the material property defined as the stress at which a material begins to deform plastically. Prior to the yield point the material will deform elastically and will return to its original shape when the applied […]
Why Is Austenitic Steel Magnetic?
Today we want to deal with a very complex subject: magnetism in austenitic steel. Austenitic steel. Why do they become magnetic? Austenitic steels contains Cr (16 – 20%), Ni (7 – 18%) and only some kinds Mo (2 – 6%) with a carbon content of typically less than 0.08%. The presence of stabilizing elements (such as Ti) improves the corrosion resistance, […]
What’s The Difference Between ISO, UNI and AFNOR?
The specifications of steels vary from country to country and its can be based on different criteria. The standardization has the purpose to establish the technical conditions for the trade of products. Thus, ensuring the continuous adaptation to technological development. (AFNOR, ISO, UNI etc..) What are the most important organisms for standard legislation? According to EU […]
High And Low Temperatures. When To Use Stainless Steel?
Austenitic, ferritic and martensitic stainless steels. What is the most suitable stainless steel to high or low temperatures? High and low temperature. Which types of stainless steel is the best? The type of stainless steel is primarily chosen depending on its end-use. The various types of steel differ for many reasons; in this case, depening […]
Interior and Exterior Design: Decorative Stainless Steel
Wood, glass, crystal have been used for years in design, and stainless steel not less so! Its resistance and undeniable elegance make it one of the most used material in this sector. Where to use stainless steel? Stainless steel is often used as a furnishing design, often used precisely inhomes. Thanks to its perfectly adaptable […]

AISI 304 / 316 Stainless Steel Rings: a Thousand Uses
Stainless steel rings have a wide range of applications in the marine industry. Their use mainly depends on the type of stainless steel they are made from. The grades AISI 304 and AISI 316 refer to austenitic stainless steels containing generally more than 16% chromium and more than 6% nickel as the second main alloying element. AISI 316 and AISI 304: what are the differences? AISI 304 stainless steel is commonly used for kitchen equipment, sinks, cutlery, and similar applications. In […]
The Turning – What Is It?
After our previous blog post about plastic cold deformation, today we would like to talk about turning. Turning is a machining process in which a cutting tool, typically a non-rotating tool bit, follows a helical tool path while the workpiece rotates. The turning process: how and when is it used? The tool’s axes of movement may follow a straight line or a series of curves or angles, but the movement is essentially linear. Usually, the term turning refers to the […]
