Technical Information about Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is a generic term for a group of corrosion resistant steels containing a minimum of 10.5% of chroium. Varying additions of nickel, molybdenu, titanium, niobium, and other elements may be present. The mechanical properties and behaviour in service of the various types depends upon their composition and careful selection of the most appropriate type is vital to success in any application.

Corrosion of Stainless Steels

A completely updated edition of its successful predecessor. Specialists in their respective fields describe how metallurgical factors affect the corrosion resistance of stainless steels. Information regarding their usage, corrosion problems, as well as their development, and production has been drawn primarily from U.S. sources. The section on stress corrosion has been significantly revised. Includes some discussion with regard to higher alloys. buy now
