Stainless steel is one of the most versatile materials, and you'll find it in a wide range of projects, from roof racks and tanks, to gates, balustrading and even commercial health and culinary equipment.
So what makes stainless steel so popular?
Stainless steel is powerfully resistant to rust. This makes it perfect for all sorts of outdoor and heavy wearing environments, from outdoor kitchens to many marine applications. Because stainless steel is an alloy, it can be manufactured in a range of chemical compositions, with some heavily alloyed grades of stainless steel even resistant to extreme temperatures - both highs and lows - high pressure, and corrosion from chloride, alkalis and acids.
Stainless steel is also inherently clean, and for this reason it is perfect for use in laboratories and factories processing sensitive materials such as pharmaceuticals and foods, as well as for use in hospitals.
What are the applications of stainless manufacturing?
Stainless steel is incredibly versatile. It can be fabricated into many standard and custom made shapes and is machined, welded and cut by stainless manufacturers to meet the needs of almost any project, big or small.
Here are some uses of stainless steel that you may not have considered:
Bridges: a classic use of stainless steel is bridge building, and you'll find stainless steel arches and supports in iconic bridges across the world.
Aquatic applications: stainless steel's resistance to corrosion lends it naturally to projects requiring material to come into repeated contact with water, including plumbing and wastewater treatment.
Architecture: you'll find stainless steel supports in most large scale construction projects, and, because of its durability, it is often used to augment many buildings and form large monuments and public art projects.
Transport: from airports to railways, stainless steel has long played a role in underpinning the transport infrastructure you rely on.
Medicine: from surgical implants to surgical equipment, stainless manufacturers render precise tools to support modern medicine, due to stainless steel's ability to be sterilised.
Jewellery: stainless steel won't cause skin reactions, as other metals and alloys can, and for this reason it is used in the manufacture of many beautiful types of jewellery.
Weapons: many firearms contain components formed from stainless steel, and some are composed entirely of this alloy.
Stainless steel is one of the most versatile alloys in use today. Stainless manufacturing can be adapted to almost any requirement and meet the needs of any project.

Greetings to all who come here. My name is Brad Hansen and I am an accountant who happens to know an awful lot about wells. My church began charity work in Cambodia over a decade ago and it has installed dozens of wells in villages across the country. Before I started helping in Cambodia, I had no idea about different types of water pumps. Over the years, I have learnt that different pumps are needed depending on terrain and usage. Of course, making sure that pumps are cost effective and easily maintained is important for charity projects. These days, I use my accountancy skills to purchase water pumps and other equipment at the best possible prices. Initially, I honed my understandings through research and talking to experts, so I feel that I have some knowledge to share. I hope readers of this blog find it helpful. Peace to you all.
