Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What makes stainless steel so popular in the food industry?
   • It offers excellent corrosion resistance to food acids and cleaning agents, making it ideal for use in food processing and kitchen equipment that come into contact with food.
2. Can stainless steel be welded?
   • Yes, excellent weldability and can be welded using common methods such as TIG, MIG, and spot welding, making it highly suitable for a variety of fabrication applications.
3. Is stainless steel resistant to rust?
   • Yes, excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, particularly in mild to moderately corrosive environments, such as exposure to water, atmospheric conditions, and weak acids.
4. What is the difference between AISI 304 and AISI 316?
   • offers better resistance to chloride-induced corrosion (such as seawater exposure) compared to AISI 304, which is why AISI 316 is often used in marine environments, whereas AISI 304 is suitable for most other applications.
5. What surface finishes are available for steel coils?
   • Available in several surface finishes, including 2B (mill finish), BA (bright annealed), No.4 (polished), and No.8 (mirror finish), depending on the application and aesthetic requirements.
6. Can stainless steel be used in high-temperature environments?
   • Yes, its mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for many high-temperature applications, including heat exchangers and industrial furnaces.
