Introduction
This book provides the reader not only a broad overview but also a working knowledge of stainless steels. You have questions! Such as—What advantages do stainless steels offer? What is stainless steel and how does it differ from other steels? How can I decide which stainless steel is the right choice for my purposes?
The answers to these questions and many others are provided in the pages that follow. For example, the element chromium is primarily responsible for stainless steel’s resistance to rusting.
In this era of credibility crisis, trust needs to be earned. Readers should be confident that I have expertise in this subject, having co-founded Gold Precision Co. Ltd. in 2012. Gold Precision is a metal stamping manufacturer that serves customer needs from prototyping to the final product, including stamping mold design, mold trial, processing and assembly.
This guide will allow you to make informed decisions regarding the products you buy, the material you use to manufacture your products, the material’s properties (including pros & cons), and other valuable insights.
The information in this guide will save you from making costly mistakes, so the sooner you read it, the better.
Chapter One
Stainless Steel - an Introduction and Brief History
Imagine a world without stainless steel. Tableware, cutlery, appliances, and so many other items we take for granted, would have a decidedly shorter life span because of rust and corrosion. Fortunately, this world exists only in our imagination since the development of stainless steel.
Stainless steel is defined as an alloy, principally composed of iron, combined with around 11 percent chromium, which gives stainless steel the bulk of its anti-corrosive properties.
