Stainless steel it's rust free capabilities.

Sept. 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Stainless steel is an extremely versatile material and is used for many products; the manufacture of certain products in specific industries is manufactured, manipulated and welded to perfection for many reasons.

Stainless steel handrails for example have to be manufactured and welded in order to look aesthetically pleasing for handrail and balustrade systems. The welding also has to be done professionally in order to reduce the chance of rusting which can occur on welded joints. Stainless steel is a very versatile material and certain grades are used specifically for specific applications in order to stop the occurrence of rust. Stainless steel contains chromium which is the vital ingredient that enables stainless steel to remain rust free but it isn’t completely exempt from rusting and if certain grades are not used and poor welding of joints is carried out then rusting can occur.

Some Stainless steel handrails and balustrade systems will be more prone to rusting than others depending on the environment they are in. Stainless steel products in coastal regions where there is a very high salt risk are more prone to rusting than handrails installed in a residential setting. There will be special specifications used and different grades in order to stop the occurrence of rusting. Regular cleaning and maintenance is also important to remove any corroding substances from stainless steel handrails and balustrades. Stainless steel handrails and balustrades installed in swimming pool environments are in danger of rusting because of the chemicals that rise in the humidity, these chemicals can then fall and resettle back onto the stainless steel materials and regular cleaning will reduce the chance of rusting occurring.

Architectural products such as ornamental gates and ornamental staircases have to be manufactured and fitted by professionals who are qualified in their field and a good qualified professional will be able to guide you through the process from the design process to the finished product. Any welding of stainless steel handrails has to carried out to ensure that the joints aare almost invisible.

When stainless steel is being worked with,  it will be done so in a contamination free environment where mixed metal contamination cannot occur.  Any debris from non stainless steel metals will not be allowed to contaminate stainless steel during the manufacturing process to also reduce the risk of corrosion.

Stainless steel is an extremely versatile material that is used for many applications such as stainless steel handrails and balustrades for staircases systems in both interior and exterior environments with excellent results.
