In contrast to carbon or low alloy steels, stainless steels must, according to the EN 10088-1, have a minimum chromium content of 10.5% (by weight) and maximum of 1.2% carbon.
The corrosion resistance of chromium steels can be enhanced by alloying them with other elements, such as nickel, molybdenum, nitrogen, titanium or niobium. This provides a range of steels with corrosion resistance for a wide range of conditions. Alloying also enhances other useful qualities of the steel, such as formability, strength and heat resistance.
INOX Finland optimises the properties of stainless steel with chemical treatments. We specialise in bringing up the best in stainless steel. By selecting the right materials and optimising their qualities, we are able to produce the most outstanding results.
