Why doesn't it rust?! Basic knowledge of stainless steel: types and characteristics.

Stainless steel, known for its properties such as corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and workability, as well as its ease of maintenance, is widely used in everything from everyday household items to large structures. Stainless steel is also commonly used as a material for screws. We are currently offering a technical document titled "Why Doesn't It Rust?! Basic Knowledge of Stainless Steel: Understanding Types and Characteristics," which clearly explains the types and characteristics of stainless steel, the reasons it is resistant to rust, and the conditions under which it can rust, complete with illustrations. If you want to learn the basics of stainless steel, please take a look.

There are many types of screws represented by bolts and nuts, which are mainly manufactured using steel materials. In recent years, due to increasing customer needs for corrosion resistance, resistance to loosening, lightweight design, and compactness, the selection of materials other than steel has also increased. The characteristics and strength (tensile strength, yield point, etc.) of screws vary depending on the materials and processing methods used. If inappropriate materials are used, the necessary force for fastening may not be achieved, increasing the risk of serious accidents due to screw loosening or breakage. To prevent such risks, it is important to choose the optimal materials according to the purpose and usage environment. In "Textbook on Peripheral Technologies of Screws Vol. 1: How to Choose Screw Materials," we explain the mechanical properties of conventional steel materials, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and plastics. Please use this as a reference for selecting screw materials. You can view it for free from related catalogs. Feel free to contact us for inquiries.
