Architecture, Building&Construction
Stainless steel provides tremendous design flexibility to construction projects along with impeccable strength, resistance to corrosion, and fire resistance. This makes stainless steel a practical choice for public and industrial buildings. All over the world, stainless steels are being used for structural applications- ranging from cutting edge architectural designs to setting up a robust public infrastructure.
Automotive&Transport
Automotive and Transport sectors are increasingly using stainless steel to reduce weight, improve aesthetics, enhance safety, and minimize life cycle cost. Since it exhibits superior combination of high strength, ductility, formability, and toughness compared to other metals and alloys, the intrinsic weight of vehicle decreases and its load carrying capacity and fuel efficiency increases.
Railway
Stainless steel is a preferred material for railway applications worldwide on account of its longer life, higher strength-to-weight ratio, aesthetic appearance, and corrosion resistance. Its durability and minimal maintenance and no requirement for external protective painting make it an economical choice. Benefitted by energy-saving, light-weight design, and ~100% recyclability at the end of service life, stainless steel can be qualified as an environmental friendly material. Bright and contemporary finish of stainless steel has further strengthened its applicability in railway segment.
Consumer Durables
Consumer durables are driven by stringent quality, aesthetics and high durability of products. Stainless steel, owing to its excellent corrosion resistance and visually appealing surface finishes, finds extensive applications in this segment.
Food Processing
Materials used for preparation, processing, and storage of beverages, dairy and food products must be corrosion resistant and chemically inert. For these reasons, stainless steels are widely used in these applications. Moreover, they can be easily cleaned and sterilized without loss of properties, and can be readily fabricated by a variety of techniques.
Nuclear Applications
Neutron irradiation inside a Nuclear Power Plant can put even the strongest of metals to test. Unlike a lot of other metals, stainless steel provides greater safety and superior performance when used in structural components of high-pressure water reactors and fast breeder reactors. This is due to its superior strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, high ductility and durability. But that’s not all, stainless steel is also the material of choice for reprocessing spent fuel discharge from reactors.
Plumbing
Stainless steel pipes are increasingly being used for plumbing around the world because of several benefits offered by the metal; hygiene, resistance to corrosion, and low maintenance being the primary reasons. Stainless steel is an attractive option when considering the life cycle cost of an installation. It does not require painting and easily blends with modern interior designs.
