When corrosion resistance is a priority, you need stainless steel. Continental will analyze your working environment and supply the best and most cost-effective stainless alloy for the conditions. The combination of chromium, nickel and other elements can be tailored to any unique situation.
Stainless steel is alloy steel to which at least 10.5% chromium has been added. The chromium forms a film of chromium oxide, one or two atoms thick, on the surface of the steel. This acts as a barrier to corrosion, making the material stain-resistant. Stainless is available in a wide variety of chemistries made for environments ranging from mildly corrosive to highly corrosive, and can have chromium content up to the 20%-plus range. Nickel is also a component of most stainless steel alloys.
