Stainless steel product is the main product for exporting in our country. It is used for new constructions and restored historic buildings. Since last century, architects have been choosing stainless steel to build cost-effective permanent buildings. Many existing buildings fully prove that their choice is correct. Sometimes, the effect of stainless steel does not catch our eyes. However, it plays an important role in the architectural aesthetics and mechanical properties. Because it is more anti-abrasion and anti-corrosive than other metals, the stainless steel is the chief material for using in large population place.
Stainless steel pipe is an economic steel with hollow section. It extensively applies to living decoration including stair handrails, window guards, railings, furniture, and industry such as the pipelines for fluid. Stainless steel pipe has the high yield strength, so it is the important components of machinery and building structures. Compared with the round bar, when the weight is equal, the price of steel pipe is cheaper than it of steel bar. Therefore, it can save the cost.
