DURINOX ™ is developed mainly for the
agricultural industries where corrosion and abrasion are often the major source
of cost and quality problems.
Durinox™ is a registered trademark of
Beyond-steel covering a range of ferritic stainless steel grades.
Durinox™ offers superior and low-cost solution to
carbon steels and, in many cases, to austenitic stainless steels.
Durinox™ is developed mainly for the
agricultural industries where corrosion and abrasion are often the major source
of cost and quality problems. It is also often the case that many of the plants
in agricultural industries were originally designed with carbon steels because
of its low cost. In many cases, this proved a false
economy, since carbon steel performs poorly against corrosion and abrasion.
economy, since carbon steel performs poorly against corrosion and abrasion.
Durinox™ stainless steels is an excellent
choice for agricultural industries as it is both chemically inert in contact
with food and produce and also biologically inert which reduce the risk of
micro-organism colony growth.
Durinox™ offers the following benefits
compared to austenitic stainless steels and carbon steel:
- Similar
thermal expansion to carbon steel and lower compared to austenitic
stainless steels, and there-
fore it distort less when heated - Thermal
conductivity that is much higher than austenitic stainless steels
- High
temperature oxidation resistance, they are less prone to scaling
- Its
mechanical properties are very similar to carbon steel making it easy to
cut and work without the need of specialized tools. They are also less
prone to spring back compared austenitic stainless steels
- It
is not prone to stress corrosion cracking
- They
can be used in temperatures to up to 600°C which is far better than carbon
steel and is more than
sufficient for most agricultural industries
Availability
Plat Durinox™ F12N is available as hot rolled sheet
and plates with no. 1 (as rolled) finish.
