Stainless steels - Properties and Corrosion resistance

The primary characteristic of stainless steels is their resistance to corrosion. It is thanks to this fundamental property that global consumption has tripled in twenty years and continues to grow at a steady pace. The main sectors driving this growth are presented in [M 4 540] .

Their physical properties and mechanical characteristics demonstrate these alloys' ability to withstand high stresses, both static and dynamic. These characteristics, combined with their corrosion resistance, make stainless steels high-performance structural materials that...
