Stainless steel: The preferred metal for corrosion resistance applicationsThe characteristics of stainless steel: Stainless steel is widely used in industry and the environment due to its corrosion resistance, strength and durability. It contains at least 10.5% chromium, which enables stainless stee Read More

The key differences between 1.4404 (316L) and 1.4571 (316Ti) lie in their composition, stabilization method, and suitability for specific applications, particularly welding and high-temperature service. Both are austenitic stainless steels derived from the basic 316 grade but modified to address sen Read More

**The Core Differences Between BA (Bright Annealed) and EP (Electropolished) Tubes** ---### **I. Fundamental Process Differences** - **BA (Bright Annealing)**: High-temperature annealing (typically 1000–1150°C) in an inert atmosphere (e.g., hydrogen or argon) prevents surface oxidation Read More

In some cases, the corrosion resistance of a stainless steel depends on the material family it belongs to. But in general, the key lies in the content of the alloying element molybdenum. A rule of thumb is: the higher the molybdenum content, the more corrosion resistant the material is. Molybdenum a Read More
