Stainless steel – High performance for demanding environments
Stainless steel is an alloy that consists primarily of iron, refined with at least 10.5% chromium, which gives the material its unique corrosion resistance. By combining chromium with other alloying elements such as nickel, molybdenum and nitrogen, specific properties such as high strength, heat resistance and formability can be achieved. Stainless steel is used globally in everything from chemical process equipment and marine construction to food production, construction and the energy and power industry. Thanks to its durability, low maintenance requirements and long service life, stainless steel is one of the most widely used construction materials in the world.
HARALD PIHL offers a wide range of AISI stainless steel grades, carefully selected to withstand demanding applications in, for example, the chemical, marine, energy and food industries. Our stainless steels are used in everything from pressure vessels and heat exchangers to food equipment, piping systems, building structures and offshore components.
We stock both austenitic, ferritic and duplex steel grades, adapted for different environments where corrosion resistance, formability or strength are crucial.
Common areas of application for stainless steel:
- Chemical process equipment and reactors
- Marine equipment, propeller shafts and deck structures
- Energy and power generation components
- Food and beverage industry production lines
- Piping systems and pressure vessels in corrosive environments
