Can stainless steel structural?

The vast majority of structural stainless steel applications use austenitic or duplex stainless steels. Austenitic stainless steels provide an excellent combination of corrosion resistance, forming and fabrication properties with design strength of approximately 220 MPa (32 ksi). They contain about 10 percent nickel.

Why stainless steel is used in construction?

It is widely used within the construction industry. Chosen for use within the construction industry for various reasons including the fact that it has a high resistance to corrosion as well as high and low temperatures the majority of stainless steel is fairly easily fabricated.

What grade is structural stainless steel?

The most common stainless steel grades for structural sections are 304L (1.4307) and 316L (1.4404). Both grades have much more than ten percent of chromium. Their melting compound contains also nickel and in case of the 316L also molybdenum.

What is the most common structural steel?
