If nickel is added <\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">to the alloy, it produces chromium-nickel steel<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">. Generally speaking, when people talk about chromium steel or stainless steel they mean chromium-nickel steel. The high chrome content results in a particularly thick and rustproof passive layer. This makes the material particularly durable and, above all, low maintenance. Stainless steel is characterised by its excellent hygienic properties, optimal temperature tolerance and its lack of sensitivity to acids and other external factors. Different alloys are used depending on the application. The most common is V2A (new designation: 1.4301). If a greater degree of protection against corrosion is required, then the alloy V4A (new designation: 1.4435) is used.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>\n<p><strong>Where is stainless steel used?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"ki-artFliesstext\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The high corrosion resistance of stainless steel makes it of particular interest from an economic point of view and is now indispensable in both public and private buildings.
