Stainless steel

Stainless steel is produced in an electric arc furnace using recycled stainless scrap and various chromium alloys. Nickel, molybdenum, and other alloys are added as needed. Final alloy additions are made to meet the specified chemistry for the stainless steel type being produced.

Stainless steel Benefits

? inherently good corrosion resistance
? reduced life cycle costs (for reinforced concrete)
? good strength
? good weldability for common rebar grades
? good ductility for common rebar grades no coatings to chip,
crack, deteriorate
? no coatings to damage and repair
? no exposed ends to coat (solid stainless steel bars)
? can withstand shipping, handling, fabrication
? magnetic or non-magnetic (depends on alloy)
? good mechanical properties for common rebar grades at
high and low temperatures

[shreyansh jain]

Because of the corrosion resistance of stainless steel, it has a long service life compared to mild steel. Even though stainless steel has a higher initial cost,
the life cycle cost is lower because the frequency and cost of future maintenance and replacement work is reduced.
