Stainless Steel - Stainless steel is technically defined as a ferrous alloy because of its iron base. Unlike iron
in a steel product, stainless contains nickel that stabilizes, in almost all products, the magnetic property – alone, each
nickel and iron both are magnetic. Stainless is very popular for use in restaurant counters, restaurant equipment and cooking/eating utensils – this is because
stainless does not contain pours that could harbor contamination. Another key ingredient in stainless that helps with the
sanitary properties is chromium – also giving stainless the shiny appearance and the ability to protect the metal from water
and air.
The price of stainless will usually be determined by amount of nickel in the product along with current iron and nickel spot
prices (stock market). As with aluminum, stainless also has over 150 different alloyed types but only less than 20 commonly
mentioned in recycling - most often 304 and 316. Rare, and the most expensive are monel and inconel seriesWe will recycle these types of stainless and well as others: 301, 304, 305, 316, 321, 317, 409, 430, inconel and monel.Other metal information: |
