How Stainless Steel Fabrication Works, And Why It Is Important
A stainless steel fabrication process involves manufacturing pre-fabricated parts and components from stainless steel material, that is raw or stock. The fabrication methods used in different industries vary. It is common practice to roll-form, spin, deep draw, forge, bend, and fold with powerful forces due to the material’s high strength and hardness.
Pitting Corrosion vs. Crevice Corrosion: Identifying and Preventing
Preventing pitting and crevice corrosion can save downtime and money. Identifying the type of corrosion affecting a system is the first step to eliminating it in the future.
Failure Analysis in Stainless Steel: Material Science, Ongoing Education, and Corrosion Prevention
Failure analysis is an essential tool for all industries. It is crucial to take the initiative to understand failure mechanisms in the workplace. Although senior personnel pass on information to juniors, there are frequent revisions to guidelines and improvements to processes which analysts can follow with ongoing education.

Acquisitions Shape the Stainless Market
An analysis of thousands of acquisitions over the last 30 years shows that the stainless steel market is built on the niche achievements of several small companies who were acquired by publicly traded companies or private equity firms. The many benefits of mergers have recently increased due to the advent of IIoT and remote O&M which allow suppliers to provide solutions and not just products.
Impact of Aging Plants on Stainless Steel Components
Why use stainless steel? Stainless steel is the ideal material choice for a wide range of plant applications due to its resistance to corrosive products such as acids, caustic solutions, oxidizers, and environmental corrosive elements such as salt laden air when found near the sea.
WP-324: Effective Gas Purging Needed To Avoid Porosity During Welding
The production of defect-free welds is crucial if high strength is mandatory. The presence of porosity in particular can lead to a significant reduction in mechanical properties.1
