1. The Care and
Cleaning of Stainless Steel
| |
This five-page handbook is a handy
guide for both industrial and household stainless steel cleaning. Covers
effective cleaning methods for routine cleaning,
fingerprints and smears, stubborn stains and discoloration, grease, blood,
burnt-on or baked-on foods, and grease and oil.
|
2. Design
Guidelines for the Selection and Use of Stainless Steel
| |
Overview of a broad range of stainless
steels; their compositions, properties, fabrication and use. Offers guidance on
selecting the proper stainless steel by weighing four elements: corrosion or
heat resistance; mechanical properties; fabrication operations; and total cost.
|
3. Stainless Steel
Fabrication
| |
Describes fabrication methods, such as
cutting, shearing, blanking, bending and forming. Compares stainless to mild
steel with suggested fabrication methods. Descaling, removing mild
discoloration, and the definition of passivation are discussed. Comments on
handling, care in the shop, and cleaning procedures.
|
4. Stainless Steel
Fasteners
| |
Details selecting stainless steel
fasteners with a description of the basic types. Discusses the criteria for
choosing the right stainless steel presented with the typical properties and some thoughts
on designing for optimum corrosion resistance.
|
5. Stainless Steel for
Machining
| |
Describes the standard grades of stainless steel
that have been specially designed to improve machinability, including types 203,
303, 430F, 416 and 429F.
|
6. Specifications
for Stainless Steel
| |
Provides the
designer, engineer, specification writer, producer and user of stainless steel
with a listing of all current ASTM standards. These standards are
listed by mill shape and by product. Stainless types also are listed, along with
a selection of applicable society, government and military
specifications.
|
7. Welding of
Stainless Steels and Other Joining Methods
| |
The purpose of this booklet is to help
designers and manufacturing engineers achieve a better understanding of the
welding characteristics of stainless steels, so they may exercise better
control over the finished products with respect to welding. In addition to
welding, other ancillary joining methods are discussed, including
soldering and brazing.
