Stainless Steel Comparison 302 AISI 302 is the most basic type of steel in the chromium-nickel group. It is an austenitic steel‚ which is used for chemical resistance and hardenable by cold work. It contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel. It has corrosion resistance to mild-atmospheric and fresh water‚ industrial atmospheric‚ marine atmospheric‚ mild chemical and oxidizing chemical environments. Type 302 is also highly resistant to gasoline. 303 AISI 303 is an austenitic steel in the chromium-nickel

According to dictionary.com‚ a steel pan is a percussion instrument originating in Trinidad‚ made out of an oil drum with one end beaten down and divided by grooves into sections to give different notes. Though steel pans (steel drums) were created on the Caribbean island of Trinidad in the 1930s‚ the steel pan history can be traced back to the enslaved Africans who were brought to the island during the 1700s. They carried with them elements of their African culture including the playing of hand

------------------------------------------------- Alloy Steel is a metal alloy whose major component is iron‚ with carbon content between 0.02% and 2.14% by mass. An alloy is a metallic solid solution composed of two or more elements. Complete solid solution alloys give single solid phase microstructure‚ while partial solutions give two or more phases that may or may not be homogeneous in distribution‚ depending on thermal (heat treatment) history. Alloys usually have different properties from those

I. The Mittal Steel began in the early 1970’s as a small‚ family owned company‚ based in India. However‚ due to a range of restrictive government regulations and tough competitiveness from SAIL (a state-owned firm) and Tata Steel (large privately owned firm)‚ Mittal Steel believed that the best projection of growth of the company would transpire outside of India. In 1975‚ Mittal Steel began expanding across national borders by creating and building a steel making plant in Indonesia.

The Inland Steel Building clearly demonstrated how American architecture had changed during those decades and attested to the influence of both the international style and the work of Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe and their basic principals of design. The Inland Steel Building was the first high-rise in the Chicago Loop after the construction hiatus created by The Great Depression and World War II. The elegant combination of steel and glass were innovative due to the mass

especially for welding of stainless steels‚ aluminum and magnesium. In stainless steel industry‚ TIG welding has an important role on joining thin sheets‚ tubes and pipes. Depending on this important role‚ the mechanical behaviours of TIG welded joints and criteria affecting these behaviours are the main cared subjects in industry to obtain products with less failure and use them for longer service times. Mechanical behaviours of TIG welded joints in stainless steels are also the main subject of the
