The principal corrosion‐resistant applications of stainless steel

Abstract

IN ANY survey of stainless steel applications it is soon apparent that in the vast majority of cases it is the corrosion resistance of the material which is the deciding factor in its selection. Appearance, non‐toxicity, retention of strength at high and low temperatures, and ease of fabrication are all important in varying degrees, but the widespread applications of stainless steel— a material which celebrated its first half‐century only a few years ago—follow principally from its inherent ‘stainless’ properties which confer a remarkable degree of resistance to attack in a wide variety of environments.
