Stainless Steel Profiles - A Perfect Material Choice

Stainless steel profiles are widely used in different industries, as it is known to be the perfect material for almost any application. But what is it, that makes stainless steel perfect?

Stainless Steel – A Material Makes History

Stainless is a form of steel that has been used in the building and arts industries primarily since the 1960s. In recent years stainless steel profiles have gained in popularity as a desirable alternative to common ferrous metals, especially for use in construction. This is in part due to the beauty of the material that lends itself well to exposed structural elements.

Today, there is a variety of structural stainless steel profiles. This is especially in special shapes, finishes, and precision manufacturing processes that make stainless steel profiles more versatile. The demand for stainless steel has also allowed for more competitive pricing and shipping options comparable to the more common carbon steel products.

Benefits of Stainless Steel Profiles over Carbon Steel

Stainless steel is exactly what the name implies. It is steel that does not stain or succumb to corrosion. The chromium in stainless forms an oxide film at the surface level that protects the steel and allows it to self-repair when exposed to the elements, including pollutants. It is rust resistant, which makes stainless steel profiles more visually appealing than profiles in conventional carbon grade steels.

Another benefit of using stainless steel profiles is their strength. Steel can span long distances without significant deformation or visible stress. It basically has a higher weight-to-strength ratio than other building materials. There are high grade stainless steel special shapes that allow for less material thickness than some of the more common steel grades. This allows for the overall use of less material in the manufacturing process.

Stainless steel profiles are a hundred percent recyclable. This makes stainless steel one of the most environmentally friendly materials to use in construction and design.

Stainless Steel Grades

There are different grades of stainless steel that incorporate different alloys, production methods, finishes, and strengths. Some of these include the following types.

Stainless steel is the optimal material for a great collection of applications. The material is hundred percent recyclable and already recycled as raw material. Tee sections are ideal structural components for applications with corrosion issues.

Almost all stainless steel products that leave the factory were already used previously in a different form of steel or stainless steel. ‘New’ stainless steel products commonly consist of recycled content of around 60 %.

Stainless steel structural sections

The essential specification for stainless steels is that they should be corrosion resistant for a condition application or surroundings. The choice of a particular “type” and “grade” of stainless steel must originally meet the corrosion resistance requirements. Extra mechanical or physical properties may also need to be studied to achieve the overall service work essentials.
The most common stainless steel grades are 304L and 316L. In both grades, several long bars are available. The following sections are common:

According to the regional location, different sizes and different sections are available.

Tee Sections

T-sections, used in construction, are a load-bearing structure of reinforced concrete, wood or metal. T-sections are also known with different definitions as T-beams or T-bars. They are structural beams with a “T” shaped cross section. The market offers a wide diversity of several T-profiles:

• equal leg tees , where the width and the height have the same measure,
• unequal-flange tees , having the height being half the width’s measure,

• tee-sections with a much greater height compared to the width, generally used in curtain walls.

Availability of Tee Sections

Stainless steel T-sections are available in three primary manufacturing processes: hot rolling, hot extrusion and plate welding.
T-profiles in stainless steel in laser welded execution are the most usual execution, less used in hot-rolled production and rare situations demand in extruded form.
The laser welded allows also for maximum design flexibility for any deviation from the standard that may be of advantage. All T-profiles are available in both imperial and metric sizes. T-bars are typically used for general fabrication.

Capacity of Tee Sections

The ability of T-Section varies based on the sign of moment either positive or negative. The resistance of T section is higher for the positive moment because the flange section would be in compression. But for a negative moment, it yields the same strength as an equal part without the flange.
T-sections in stainless steel are ideal structural components for applications with corrosion issues.

Tee Sections – Better than any other section

• For lenghts larger than 4 meters, it offers greater and significantly more resistance compared to a flat bar

• Just T-beams will reduce rebar requirement

• We can save nine to twenty percent reinforcement as compared to a flat bar

• The required depth of beam will also reduce, as the flange or the web will contribute to sagging moment.

Tee Sections for aesthetic applications

Polished or even mirror polished surfaces on T-profiles can be more often sanctioned and seen in bathrooms and kitchens. The benefits are obvious; the highly polished surface is very easy to clean and sanitize.

At shops and in modern architecture, T-sections include several functions as a bumper bar or as edge protection. T-parts are used to reinforce the bases of glass tables.
Stainless steel T-profiles are also properly fitted into grooves of wooden tables to consolidate visual and practical duty.
Façades made with glazing very often include in the design the use of sharp edged T-sections as mullion to section the glass wall.

T-profiles or basic tees are the less common products in the world of steel structurals but are gaining popularity.
