In recent years, the emergence of a series of alloys such as so-called "super austenite", "super ferrite" and "duplex steel" has forced stainless steel to compete with nickel and titanium alloys under the most severe conditions. compete. Today, these two industries account for a very large portion of total stainless steel demand.
As the family of alloys collectively known as stainless steels continues to grow, so do their potential applications throughout industry. Generally speaking, they can withstand the attack of highly corrosive chemicals. These characteristics and advantages are particularly important in the chemical and petrochemical industries, and only these fields can place such high demands on alloy materials.
Stainless steel is used in industrial areas including oil and gas production, petroleum refining, pulp and paper machinery, fertilizer plants, etc.
