Stainless Steel Materials

Superior corrosion resistance for demanding environments

What is Stainless Steel?

Stainless steels are iron-based alloys containing a minimum of 10.5% chromium, which forms a passive chromium-oxide film that provides superior corrosion resistance compared to conventional carbon steels.

The addition of other alloying elements such as nickel, molybdenum, titanium, and nitrogen further enhances specific properties like strength, formability, and resistance to particular types of corrosion and oxidation.

At Howco, we supply a wide range of stainless steel grades tailored to meet the specific requirements of applications in the energy sector, particularly for environments where excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties are essential.
