Stainless Steel : Types, Properties & Industrial Applications
Introduction
Did you know stainless steel accounts for over 60% of modern architectural metalwork? At Walmay Steel, we transform raw alloys into high-performance coils and sheets that power industries worldwide
This guide covers:
The science behind stainless steel’s corrosion resistance
Key differences between 304 vs 316 grades
How precision rolling enhances material performance
Why Stainless Steel? The Metallurgy Behind Its Durability
Chromium’s Role (12% minimum for corrosion resistance)
Crystal Structures (Austenitic/Ferritic/Martensitic comparisons)
From Molten Metal to Precision Coils: Our 8-Step Workflow
Raw Material Selection (Explain Ni/Cr sourcing)
Hot Rolling (Reducing thickness at 1,200°C)
Pickling & Annealing (Removing scale, restoring ductility)
Cold Rolling (Achieving ±0.01mm tolerance)
This guide covers:
“Our 20-high rolling mill produces mirror-finish sheets under 0.5mm for medical device manufacturers.”
304 vs 316 Stainless Steel: Choosing the Right Alloy
316 Superiority (2-3% Molybdenum for saltwater resistance)
Cost-Benefit Analysis (When to use 304 for budget projects)
Case Study:
“How our 316L coils solved corrosion issues in a coastal power plant project.”
Where Our Steel Excels: Industry-Specific Solutions
Construction (Cladding, structural supports)
Transportation (Exhaust systems, railcars)
Medical (Surgical tools, MRI components)
Conclusion
From skyscrapers to scalpels, stainless steel’s versatility is unmatched. At Walmay Steel, we combine metallurgical expertise with precision engineering to meet your project’s demands.
