Stainless Steel in Construction

Why is Stainless Steel Used in Construction?

Since its inception, stainless steel has been widely used in the construction industry due to its aesthetic appeal, corrosion resistance, ease of maintenance, and excellent strength, toughness, and fatigue properties. In challenging environments, including industrial structures, coastal buildings, and structures exposed to salty low-temperature conditions, stainless steel's advantages are particularly pronounced. Its excellent ductility makes it stand out as a material for resisting seismic loads.

Applications of Stainless Steel in Structural Construction

Stainless steel is commonly used in both architectural and structural applications. Its use ranges from highway bridges in public infrastructure to support structures for canopies and balconies in buildings. It can be found in everything from connectors for wood or stone in buildings to various explosion-proof and impact-resistant structures in industrial settings. Here are some common stainless steel products used in the construction industry:

Architectural Elements

  • Stainless Steel Staircase
  • Stainless Steel Linear Drainage Channel
  • Stainless Steel Fence
  • Stainless Steel Anti Slip Stair Treads
  • Stainless Steel Screens
  • Stainless Steel Railing

Load-Bearing Components

  • Stainless Steel Bar
  • Stainless Steel Wide Flange Beam
  • Stainless Steel Mesh

Types of Stainless Steel Used in Construction

Most structural applications of stainless steel use austenitic or duplex stainless steel. These materials must perform well under high pressure, high impact, and high temperatures. Both austenitic and duplex stainless steels have excellent ductility (especially austenitic stainless steels) and strain-hardening characteristics, allowing them to withstand substantial impacts without fracturing. Their thermal expansion coefficients and thermal conductivity indicate better performance than carbon steel in extremely high-temperature environments (up to 550°C), maintaining their load-bearing capacity longer.

Austenitic Stainless Steel: Contains about 10% nickel, offering excellent corrosion resistance, forming, and machining properties. They have a design strength of about 220 MPa (32 ksi).

Duplex Stainless Steel: Contains about 5% nickel, offering high strength, good wear resistance, and excellent stress corrosion cracking resistance. They have a design strength of about 450 MPa (65 ksi).

Duplex Stainless Steel Coils & Sheets Construction

2205 (F60, F51) and 2207 Stainless Steel

  • 2205 and 2207 stainless steels are excellent for construction due to their superior corrosion resistance and high strength, allowing them to bear heavy loads and resist wear.

  • 2205 and 2207 stainless steels have good weldability, facilitating construction, and their smooth, attractive appearance enhances the overall visual appeal of buildings.

  • 2205 and 2207 stainless steels’ durability means that structures built with these materials require less maintenance, reducing long-term operational costs.
