The magnetic attraction of ferromagnetic ferritic martensitic and duplex stainless steel is compared to that of the low magnetic permeability austenitic types. Hard and soft ferromagnetic types are compared. The paramagnetic aust... Read More...
The importance of good design and surface finish selection for the successful fabrication of stainless steel is outlined along with some of the properties that can affect the fabrication and performance of stainless steel. These ... Read More...
The inherent corrosion resistance of stainless steel is derived from alloying the base iron with chromium. EN 10088-1 states that a steel must have a minimum of 10.5% (by weight) chromium and a maximum of 1.2% carbon to be classi... Read More...
The magazine "Nature" published two articles in the February 14th 2002 which reported research work done at Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, by Mary P. Ryan and co-workers. This publication sets out to clarif... Read More...

Both 316 and 308 grades of stainless steel have their practical applications. There are only subtle differences between these two types of stainless steel.
Applications
316 stainless steel is often used in marine appli... Read More...
Due to the high silicon content and the addition of rare earth metals (REM), 353 MA stainless steel has very high oxidation resistance. The REM addition also contributes to an improved scale adhesion during temperature cycling.

329 is a Austenitic stainless steel. It is slightly lower in alloy content than Alloy S32205, so it is less expensive, however its availability is limited to full mill runs.
AISI Type 329 is an Austenitic Standard grade Stainle... Read More...
Achieving targets set by the government's Renewable Energy Strategy could see £100bn invested in the renewable energy sector by 2020 but what are the opportunities for the stainless steel industry?
