Webinar Outline

Stainless steels have been around for more than 100 years, but many experienced users still have only a hazy idea of the important differences between the corrosion resistance of various grades. Just as importantly, selecting a specific material depends on the mechanical or physical properties you need. The webinar will cover why stainless steels are corrosion resistant after reinforcing. 

Topics we will cover:  

  • Why stainless steels are corrosion resistant
  • Choosing the stainless family: Before looking at corrosion resistance
  • Factors affecting your choice
    • Environment
    • Availability and cost
    • Design and processing requirements
    • Specific mechanical or physical properties
  • What standards do not tell you about your stainless steel
  • Estimating corrosion resistance using PRE
  • Water with chloride, temperature, and pH variations
  • Burial of stainless steel: A very brief outline
  • Effects of crevices, finish, and chemical or electrochemical treatments

This summary outlines the critical aspects and key topics that will be covered in the webinar. 

Presenter: Dr Graham Sussex, ASSDA Technical Specialist
