  • Keeps smooth operation over time

Painted Steel vs. Coastal Stainless Steel

Precision Performance

  • Perfect joint tolerances (not sloppy after paint wear)
  • Stronger than Carbon Steel
  • Stronger than 300 series stainless steel (with 14% more yield strength)

Low-Wear Pivot Joints

 

The Science of Stainless Steel

What Makes Stainless Steel Corrosion Resistant?

  • The Amount of Chromium in the Alloy - 18% is the minimum target amount.
  • Magnetism - Ashland’s Stainless “is” magnetic, however it is from an element that has corrosion resistant benefits along with the Chromium to prevent red rust.
    • Some magnetic stainless steels (430 series) have less Chromium and use other elements that are NOT corrosion resistant, so they rust more quickly.
    • Some non-magnetic stainless steels (200 series) have less Chromium and use other elements that are NOT corrosion resistant, so they rust more quickly.
    • Magnetism is NOT an indicator of corrosion resistance.
