STAINLESS STEEL is not
a single alloy, but rather the name
applies to a group of iron based
alloys containing a minimum 10.5%
chromium. Other elements are added
and the chromium content increased
to improve the corrosion resistance,
improve heat resisting properties,
enhance mechanical properties,
and/or to improve fabricating
characteristics. There are over
50 stainless steel grades that were
originally recognized by the American
Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). Three
general classifications are used to
identify stainless steel. They are:
1. Metallurgical structure.
2. The AISI numbering system (200,
300 and 400 Series numbers).
3. The Unified Numbering System,
which was developed by the
American Society for Testing
Materials (ASTM) and the Society
of Automotive Engineers (SAE) to
apply to all commercial metals
and alloys.
The various types of stainless steel
are detailed in a designer handbook
“Design Guidelines for the Selection
and Use of Stainless Steel” available
from the Specialty Steel Industry of
North America (SSINA). Several
other publications are also available,
including: “Stainless Steel
Fabrication,” “Stainless Steel
Fasteners,” “Stainless Steel Finishes,”
“Stainless Steel Specifications,” and
“Stainless Steel Architectural Facts,”
to mention a few.

THE GENERALLY ACCEPTED TERMINOLOGY
“STAINLESS STEEL”applies to iron-base alloys that contain at least
10.5% chromium. Many people are familiar with chromium as a corrosion-resistant
coating on the surface of chrome-plated automobile bumpers. In stainless steels,
however, the chromium is added during
the melting of the steel and forms a
homogeneous mixture with the iron and
other alloying elements, such as nickel,
molybdenum, or titanium, which may be
present to enhance fabricating and
corrosion-resistant properties.
ALLOYS
The four stainless steels most often
specified for architectural applications
are Types 304 and 316, and their low
carbon variations, 304L and 316L. All
four have excellent corrosion resistance,
high strength and ease of fabrication.
Type 304, the basic “18-8” alloy
(18% chromium, 8% nickel), is most
often specified for roofing, flashing
and other architectural applications.
Over the years, it has become known
as the “all-purpose” stainless steel.
Type 316 contains 2 to 3 percent
molybdenum, and is more corrosion
resistant than 304 stainless steels.
Although higher in initial cost, 316
usually is preferred for long-term service
in aggressive industrial, chemical and
seacoast atmospheres.
There are many other alloys. However,
these are the most common.

ADVANTAGES OF
STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless steel has certain inherent
advantages that make it ideal for a wide
variety of architectural applications.
Chief among these is its resistance to
corrosion. Under normal conditions,
stainless is unlikely to corrode, pit, tarnish,
or deteriorate in any way. There is no
need to compensate for loss of strength
due to deterioration, and replacement
costs are virtually non-existent.
From the esthetic viewpoint, stainless
is notable for its inherent beauty and
the ease with which it blends with other
materials. It has a subtle sheen which
does not overwhelm or intrude on other
design and color elements; rather, it
complements, reflects and highlights
surrounding materials. Because of its
corrosion resistance, its appearance is
permanent, and there is no danger of
corrosion streaking or staining other
materials.
Stainless is among the strongest of
metals. Tensile strengths of 75,000 to
125,000 psi (or higher if needed) often
allow the use of gauges much lighter
than are usually needed in other metals.
Sturdy design elements, fabricated from
thin sheets of stainless, can combine
light weight with strength.
COLORED STAINLESS
STEEL
Several techniques exist to produce
surprising colors that complement the
natural luster of stainless steel, but in
no way affect its inherent corrosion
resistance and low maintenance
benefits. Colored stainless steel is a
creative option often overlooked by
architects and designers, particularly
here in the U.S. In other parts of the
world, it is used much more extensively.
2

In Japan, for example, colored stainless
steel roofs and bathtubs are common.
In the U.S., colored stainless steel can
be found primarily in kitchens where
refrigerators, dishwashers and other
large appliances are now available in
several stunning colors.
A corollary of stainless’ high life
expectancy is the ease with which it can
be maintained. In an urban or industrial
atmosphere all that is generally needed
is a washing with detergent and water
or with one of the commercial stainless
steel cleaners. In many circumstances,
however, washing can be left to the
action of rain and wind, with no fear
that the metal will deteriorate. Savings
that accrue from the low cost of maintaining
stainless can make up any differ-
ence in cost that may appear between
components made of stainless and other
materials. Result: in the long run, stainless
is one of the most economical of
architectural metals.
The Specialty Steel Industry of
North America has a life cycle costing
computer diskette program available
free of charge that will compare
stainless with other materials.
Stainless steel is produced in virtually
all standard metal forms and sizes, plus
many special shapes. Sheet and strip
stainless are the products most often
formed into architectural components.
The designation strip is used for widths
of metal less than 24 inches, while sheet
refers to 24 inch and greater widths. Sheet
and strip forms are available in practical
architectural thicknesses from .010 inch
and up (or as low as .001 inch for special
applications). Heavier plate material
is also available, over 10 inches in width
and 3/16 inch and over in thickness.
Stainless steels are also produced
in the form of tubing — round, oval,
square, rectangular and hexagonal, both
welded and seamless. Welded tubing is
made up to 30 inches in diameter,
seamless up to 8 inches. Other available
forms include bars and rods of similar
shapes as well as wire and extrusions.
