Stainless Steel

™

Stainless steel is a mixture of multiple metal alloys for the purpose of rust resistance. The main ingredient is a mixture of at least 12% chromium. When combined with Oxygen it forms a passive film layer resistant to rust and stains.

Stainless pipe is composed of a nonferrous metal. This makes the tube difficult to cut and drill with conventional tools. Different pipe grades and thicknesses increase these difficulties.

Often employed in applications relying on rigid materials for the transport of water and other liquids, the stainless steel tube has come a long way since the earliest experiments. French scientist Léon Guillet extensively researched the making of stainless steel over 100 years ago. Today, the science is well developed, with many special stainless steel alloys being developed for specific uses.
