Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, chromium, and, in some cases, nickel and other metals. The other common additives are carbon, manganese, molybdenum, nitrogen, sulfur, copper, and silicon. Stainless steel is known for its corrosion resistance in varied environments in which carbon and other low alloy steels would easily corrode. The presence of chromium in stainless steel leads to the formation of a tough, adherent, invisible, corrosion-resisting chromium oxide film on the steel surface. More than 60 grades of stainless steel are available today. Continue reading “What Is Stainless Steel? And Its 5 Types?”
5 Things You Should Know About Alloy C-276
Alloy C-276 is a nickel-molybdenum- chromium wrought superalloy with an addition of tungsten. It is the most universally corrosion-resistant material available today. Alloy C-276 also has excellent resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking. It is widely used in the chemical process and associated industries.
