Architecture & construction
General
Whether you are an architect or an engineer, you are always on the lookout for high-strength steels for lightweight, low maintenance structures such as façades, bridge decks, foot bridges and a wide range of decorative elements outside and inside building.
Industeel offers competitive stainless steel alternatives for all such construction projects. For demanding environments near the sea, higher alloy grades are available that will preserve their original appearance for centuries.
Industeel offers products with almost twice the strength of mild steels, reducing the weight of the structure. Their luster and stain resistant surface offer attractive long lasting surfaces with minimal maintenance. Their low nickel content reduces material cost and price volatility.

Why use a stainless steel for construction? It is about seven times as pricy as carbon steel!
Compared to carbon steel, the main advantages of a stainless steel are:
- Corrosion resistance, the surface finish will not change over time
- High mechanical strength, saving weight and making lean design possible
- No need for coating, painting and maintenance of such
In the long run, the stainless alternative might come out as the least costly one, especially for demanding environments.
Together with the other companies within ArcelorMittal, Industeel can offer stainless steel in a wide variety of shapes and forms. The surface finish can be tailored to specific needs and its longevity guarantees low maintenance cost. By choosing the proper grade of stainless, it is possible to find a material that withstands corrosion in almost any kind of environment.
