Applications

Stainless steels are a suitable materials for many applications where both the strength of steel and corrosion resistance are required. It is resistant to corrosion, staining and stainless steel can be rolled into sheets, plates, bars, wire, and tubing for a variety of applications. Below you can find news on the application of stainless steels in a broad variety of industries, such as architecture, oil and gas, shipbuilding and heat exchangers. If you wish to include your newsrelease on Stainless Steel World Americas and email newsletter, please feel free to contact us.

PCE Americas Thickness Gauge – PCE-CT 65

The PCE-CT 65 from PCE Instruments/PCE Americas Inc. is a thickness gauge that uses magnetic induction (ferrous) or eddy current (non-ferrous) to take non-destructive measurements of coating and dry film thickness (DFT) on metal substrates such as steels and aluminum.
