Civil engeneering and structures | |
|
Stainless steels are more and more specified in building and construction sectors, both for structural and aesthetic elements, especially when long term life cycle is required. | |||||
Structural applications |
||||||
|
Stainless steels and particularly duplex grades exhibit attractive properties for structural applications : aesthetic quality, resistance to corrosion even in coastal area, reduced maintenance, high mechanical properties allowing to design lightweight structures. Type 316L austenitic, UR 35N and UR 45N duplex steels have been specified for several constructions : | |||||

||||||
| Stainless steel use allows maintenance cost reduction. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
Architecture and decoration |
||||||
| Due to their aesthetic qualities
and their corrosion resistance, stainless steels such as type 316L
or UR 35N may be used for interior or
exterior architectural constructions.
Stainless steel use provides many possibilities for architects
offering various surface finishes: mill finish, mechanically and
electro polished, sand or bead blasted, coloured finish. |
