Stainless steels in the food industry
Biomimetic Texturing of Surfaces. Innovation for a Frugal Food Industry

Stainless steels have been widely used in the food industry since the 1930s. This is due to the properties of these materials such as :

• their resistance to corrosion and ageing in most environments, which are often acidic and contain chlorides;

• their chemical neutrality, which prevents organoleptic changes in food;

• their ability to be cleaned and disinfected, which means low maintenance costs;

• shock resistance ;

• their...
