The main reason why the Stainless Steel Fasteners are considered as the strongest is their resistance to corrosion. They have a long life span, are environmentally sustainable, and therefore are 100 percent recyclable. Stainless Steel Fasteners are also resistant to excessive heat and cold, making them an excellent alternative for virtually any use.
Stainless steel is an alloy based on iron mixed with chromium and nickel. Chromium and other substances form a strong oxide film on the surface, making it a metal that is resistant to corrosion. It is a "rust-resistant" metal. The alloy component chromium forms the passivation film. This film has the property of repairing immediately, even if it is destroyed by scratches, etc., but corrosion occurs in an environment where the film is deteriorated and destroyed. It does not look like red rust on iron, but it causes various corrosion depending on the conditions and environment.
Since stainless steel is harder and tougher than iron (mild steel), the power of the machine and the hardness of the blade are required for processing such as cutting, shaping, and bending. In addition to the high material cost compared to iron, the reason why stainless steel products are expensive is largely due to the difficulty of this processing.
Below, here are typically stainless steel types.
