Is super ferritic stainless steel widely used?

 　　In the consumption structure of stainless steel market in China, the proportion of austenite is 90%, while ferrite is only 10%. Internationally, the proportion of ferrite is 23%~25%, of which the proportion of ferrite in the United States and Japan is 40%.

Japanese Standard (1)

 　　In the grades of Japanese steel (JIS series), ordinary structural steel mainly consists of three parts to represent the material. 　　For example, S (Steel) represents steel, F (Ferrim) represents iron; The second part represents different shapes, types, and uses, such as P (Plate) for plates, T (Tube) for tubes, and K (Kogu) for tools; The third part represents the characteristic number, which is generally the tensile strength. For example, SS400 represents Steel, the second S represents Structure, 400 represents the lower limit tensile strength of 400MPa, and the overall represents ordinary structural steel with a tensile strength of 400MPa.

Stainless steel magnetic standard

 　　The stainless steel grade plays a role in influencing factors, but generally speaking, stainless steel alloys have magnetism, and they must meet the following requirements: 　　The alloy must contain iron (Fe). 　　The crystal structure of stainless steel alloy must be arranged in martensite or ferrite structure. 　　Firstly, as stainless steel is a type of steel, its chemical composition must contain iron. This makes stainless steel magnetic. 　　The second requirement is that the crystal structure of stainless steel must be arranged into ferrite or martensite structure. If stainless steel is mainly composed of austenitic structure, it will not have magnetism. 　　As we have already mentioned, corrosion resistance is not related to magnetism. In stainless steel, corrosion resistance depends on the concentration of chromium (sometimes molybdenum). The more each, the better the corrosion resistance.

The difference between stainless steel and galvanized steel

图片
 　　Without protection, ordinary carbon steel is still prone to rusting in most environments. Therefore, there are many ways to modify steel to prevent corrosion. Two popular solutions are to use stainless steel or galvanized steel. Although both types of steel can resist rust and corrosion, there are important differences between them that should be understood. 　　What is stainless steel? 　　Stainless steel can resist corrosion because its chemical composition contains additional alloying elements. Although ordinary carbon steel is mainly composed of iron and carbon, stainless steel adds a large amount of chromium to help it resist corrosion. Chromium, sometimes with other alloying elements, is added to stainless steel during the initial melting process and then forms any specific shape. 　　What is galvanized steel? 　　Galvanized steel is a type of steel coated with a layer of zinc, which helps prevent rusting of the underlying steel. This layer is usually very thin, us...
