Stainless Steel or Al is one of the most commonly used metals across the globe and in numerous industries. One can find Stainless Steel used in an endless number of equipment and components. Stainless Steel is an extremely lightweight metal with brilliant heat conductivity which is approximately three times better than that of stainless steel.
Stainless Steel Circles have excellent resistance to corrosion, great elongation, anodizing effect, and endless applications.
Applications of Stainless Steel Circles
1. Aircraft Discs:
Stainless Steel discs used in aircraft have excellent and ultra-high strength. These discs have great deformation properties and incredible mechanical strength. These discs are strengthened through heat treatments and solid solution treatments. The best grades of Stainless Steel for developing Stainless Steel discs used in aircraft include:
- 2A12
- 6061
- 7075
2. Precautionary Road Signs:
H14 semi-hard tempered Stainless Steel discs are used to make road safety signs and boards. An Stainless Steel plate is cut and shaped to form a circular disc.
3. Discs used in track:
Stainless Steel discs are utilized to construct locomotives and auxiliary components of railways and rail transits. About 76% of components seen on railway tracks are forged out of stainless steel.
4. Automobile:
The automobile industry demands a material that is light weighted but extremely strong and durable at the same time. Stainless Steel is the perfect metal that fits the given description. Additionally, keeping the environmental crisis in mind, developers look for material that does not corrode and erode easily thus increasing the sustainability of the vehicle. Stainless Steel provides all of these features effortlessly. Additionally, Stainless Steel is 100% recyclable and reusable. Old cars can be crushed and processed to extract material and develop new products. Stainless Steel does not incur any loss of properties or strength when it is recycled. The best advantage of using Stainless Steel is that it reduces the requirement of fuel. Heavy weighted vehicles require more fuel and Stainless Steel is extremely light in weight leading to a reduction in fuel consumption.
5. Boats and Shipbuilding:
Stainless Steel due to its lightweight has an incredibly low density in addition to excellent strength and brilliant corrosion resistivity. For a body to float on the surface of the sea it is required to have low density and Stainless Steel fits the description perfectly. Additionally, Stainless Steel is comparatively a cost-efficient and economical option.
