Fig. 3 - Test cone on left shows a bright finish with improved resistance of free-machining stainless steel when passivated using the A-A-A method. Result of conventional passivation is visible on the right. Both samples were exposed to salt spray. Although citric acid passivation offers attrac...
How to know 304 vs. 316 Stainless; tests & suggestionsadv. Q. Someone asked me how they can easily tell 304 from 316 Stainless. Here's my thought, what do you think... Try the magnet test. If the magnet sticks it cannot be 316 and might be 304. If the magnet doesn't stick it...
Admit it: You invest a great deal of time and energy in keeping your stainless steel appliances fingerprint-free, shiny, and clean, but your stainless steel sink—obscured by a pile of dishes—often gets overlooked. Well, not anymore. Say goodbye to stuck-on food, streaks, and stains! Usi...
Originally specialising in stainless steel manufacturing,Beekmanshas been a household name in the maritime sector and was the first company in the Netherlands to carry out a complete package deal for stainless steel installations on a yacht. But why did the company transition into the glass sector ...
The first thing you need to know on how to remove rust from a stainless-steel knife is about the solution I use. Can you guess what the ingredient is? Vinegar! Yes, I know it’s always available and a simple liquid. You might be wondering how an ingredient so plain will ever clean ...
Choosing the right type of stainless steel for your manufacturing application can be tough. There are numerous stainless steel grades to choose from—such as grade 304 stainless steel, grade 430 stainless steel, or grade 420 stainless steel (which are, in order, examples of austenitic, ferritic,...
Product Description 300 series stainless steel refers to a family of austenitic stainless steels that contain chromium and nickel as primary alloying elements. The most common alloys in the 300 series are Type 304 and Type 316, which contain 18% chro...
It is interesting how a request for a simple test to determine the difference between 304 & 316 evolved into an ethics discussion. Ethics aside, I came across an old Carpenter Material Data Guide from the early 70's that listed methods for identifying stainless steel in the back of the cata...
In this experimental study, periodic line-like structures with different periodicities (5, 10, 19, and 300渭m) and structural depths (approximately 1 and 4渭m) were fabricated on stainless steel samples (AISI-304) by short-pulse laser interference and ultrashort-pulse laser patterning. A ...
