Stainless steel is one of the metals we work with at Mavin Industries, where we produce a wide array of top-quality bespoke items, many of them relating to the transport industry. Indeed, if you need custom stainless steel fabrication done – especially in the Logan area and beyond – we are the people to see. This blog entry is not about our various services, though. It is instead a celebration of stainless steel and all of its desirable qualities. People tend to take this metal for granted, but the truth is, society would be lost without it!
Stainless Steel is Strong
One reason for the popularity of custom stainless fabrication is that stainless steel has a high tensile strength, meaning it can withstand a lot of stress and strain before it bends or breaks. Like the other types of steel, stainless steel is an alloy of iron. What sets it apart is that it contains at least 11% chromium.
Stainless Steel is Corrosion Resistant
Thanks to the chromium content we just mentioned, stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion. Obviously, corrosion is a chemical process to be avoided wherever possible as it not only shortens the lifespan of the metallic object in question and costs our Aussie industries a fortune, it could lead to a catastrophic mechanical failure. So, this in-built resistance is one of the clear benefits of stainless steel fabrication.
Stainless Steel is Temperature Resistant
When you’re after custom transport fabrication, a further advantage of using stainless steel is its resistance to heat. This ability to handle high temperatures explains why countless kitchen utensils are also manufactured from stainless steel, along with the alloy’s properties of rarely rusting or staining, and always being easy to clean.
Stainless Steel is Recyclable
Stainless steel is 100% recyclable. In the same way that stainless fabrication is able to produce just about any part you can design, old stainless steel can be remade into a million different things. While we’re on the topic, if you’re ever unsure if/where a certain item may be recycled, this government app is super useful.
Stainless Steel is Valuable
Following on from the previous point, stainless steel is in constant demand from scrap metal dealers, who will pay well to take it off your hands. When you have something made via stainless steel fabrication, the material itself along with the function(s) will be a definite selling point should you choose to sell it in the future.
Stainless Steel is Hygienic
We mentioned stainless steel’s easy-to-clean factor earlier. On top of that, the alloy has no “pores”. Put those two together and you have the perfect substance for equipment in both the hospitality and medical industries. Heard of “surgical steel”? It’s a variety (grade) of stainless steel.
Stainless Steel is Attractive
Well, it is. And the good looks of stainless steel automatically give the impression that an object is clean, elegant and modern.
