Metal skins: Stainless steel
A product range which contains a very broad spectrum of stainless steel grades. Elytra will assist you to carefully select which is best suited for your specific application:
- Stainless steel: an alloy of iron and carbon, containing less than 2 % carbon. Stainless steel contains a maximum of 1.2 %, a minimum of 10.5% chromium (standard EN 10088-1) and other alloying elements. The presence of chromium confers on stainless steel its principal quality: its corrosion resistance. Has a great variety of surface finishes from matt to bright, including brushed and engraved. It can be embossed or tinted and this makes stainless a unique and aesthetic material.
-
Ferritic: chromium content is typically less than 30%. The ferritic stainless steels are ferromagnetic.
-
Austenitic: a metallic non-magnetic solid solution of iron and an alloying element. Chromium content typically is in the range of 16 to 26%; nickel content is commonly less than 35%.
