Stainless Steel Intended for the Carriage of Gas
Connections for fluids (e.g. for gases) must have certain characteristics depending on their use. In this post we will get a more precise picture on stainless steel for the carriage of gas. When to use stainless steel pipes? Pipes made of austenitic stainless steel are needed when you cannot use a rigid metal pipe; for […]
Water Cycle. Why Choose Stainless Steel?
In this post we will discover why stainless steels are used during the water cycle. In particular what are those who find increased use. How to choose the type of steel? What are the basic parameters for choosing the right type of steel? Here are the determining factors: Austenite series stainless steels are most commonly […]
Stainless Steel. Why Do Quality Products Cost So Much?
Often poor quality steel (“strangely” competitive) can affect the performance of an artifact after the commissioning. Conformity according to European standards Often, in reference to the non-compliance is detected, stainless steel European and international standards. In fact, there is a mis-identification of the material or of the product itself. How can consumers protect themselves? The […]
Stainless Steel and Water and Wastewater Treatments
Can the composition of the water affect the corrosive effect in relation to stainless steel? We want to explain it in our post today. Demineralized water. Is it corrosive for steel? The composition of the water may impact significantly on the corrosive effect compared to stainless steel. Let’s look specifically: What are the effects under […]
2017 – All New Products in Our Fasteners Range!
2017 was a year full of new arrivals in the product range of Inoxmare. Today we want to share with you that are added in the fasteners range.
Dynamic Loads. The Resistance of Stainless Steel Screws.
Screws are notched components. Why are they considered as such? For their threading. And where the screws are subjected to repeated and irregular stress? In some cases the break occurs in the first load-bearing part of the thread, at the entry into the internal (female) thread. (in 90%) What is it necessary for the design? […]
Stainless Steel. Chemical Stability.
Austenitic steels A1, A2 and A4 obtain their resistance to corrosion through a surface protective layer of oxide. When the surface protective layer is damaged If the surface protective layer is damage it uses atmospheric oxygen to regenerate itself. If access to atmospheric oxygen is blocked: Then even these steels will corrode. Some general […]
Not Only Tensile Strength..
After having addressed the issue of yield and tensile strength in one of our previous blog post. Secondly, there is the matter of elongation at fracture A, the tensile strength under wedge loading and head soundness. Elongation at fracture A [%] It is the permanent elongation measured on the fractured specimen related to the original measured […]
How to Prevent the Galvanic Corrosion?
Galvanic corrosion. When (for external application) we match stainless steel with other metals it is appropriate that they be separated by an non-metallic insulator. For example, including neoprene or nylon. Why do this? To avoid the risk of galvanic corrosion.
Stainless Steel. How to Clean It?
In today post we face the taking care and maintenance of stainless steel items, surfaces and finishes. Finishes for exterior environments. To do it or not? Rainwater is beneficial to cleaning stainless steel. The fixtures for outdoor applications, (decorated or directional) should therefore be oriented in such a way as to facilitate the draining of […]
