Gestión de Compras supplies stainless steel bars and profiles, seamless and welded pipes and wires. Also, Gestion de Compras provides coils and plates cold and hot rolled.
Properties
Stainless steel is the alloy of iron and carbon, with less than 12% chromium. May also contain other materials, such as nickel.
Who converts the stainless steel is chromium, because chromium reacts with oxygen and prevents corrosion. This alloy has several properties. First, it has a high resistance to corrosion and oxidation in high temperatures environments. Has the same mechanical properties as steel. Steel is a material with high availability, so the total cost is very low. Finally, the stainless steel has a smooth surface, bright and undamaged. For this reason, good aesthetic finish is another of their properties.
Types
There are four types of stainless steels. The ferritic stainless steel, which contains only chromium. Its main feature is its magnetism. Austenitic stainless steel, more than 7% nickel. Martensitic stainless steel, which structure comprises martensite. Finally, the duplex stainless steel: combination of the first two types.
