Utility Stainless Steel refers to those products manufactured by various mills all over the world. Different mills have distinct advantages and disadvantages, depending on what the specific requirments may be. Some mills have certain size limitations, some of cost and delivery constraints, while others have had little experience with their product in the global marketplace. Pike Steel specializes in only those utility grade stainless steels that have had a proven track record of high quality and reliability. To help clear the air of any confusion about specific products that will fall under these , here is a list of utility stainless steels that conform to the grade: Nirosta 4003 3CR12Arcelor CLC4003KARA K03DuracorrAL412Utility stainless steel is a 10. 5% - 12% chromium corrosion resisting steel. With factors such as life cycle costs and environmental compatibility playing an ever greater role, utility stainless steels are increasingly the only viable option for numerous structural applications. The carbon steels still used today in many such applications require additional highly expensive measures to prevent or delay the onset of corrosion. 12% chromium / utility stainless steel has been designated DIN type 1. 4003 and ASTM/ ASME 41003 and X2CrNi12 The former has been incorporated into two Euronorm Standards, EN 10088 and EN 10028. Utility stainless steel conforms to the requirements of the above and is multi- certifiable utility stainless steel, ASTM A240, UNS S41003, due to its inclusion in the above . Utility stainless steel vessels and tanks can be designed in accordance to BS5500, ASME, AD Merkblatter codes and the Euronorm design specification currently in preparation. Utility stainless steel is not necessarily a good substitute for higher grades of stainless steel unless Detail ed corrosion testing has been carried out. Utility stainless steel was designed as a corrosion resistant steel and, as such, will exhibit decolonization when exposed to aggressive atmospheric conditions. In applications where aesthetic appearance is important, it is reco mm ended that utility stainless steel be painted, or a nickel bearing grade be used.
