Stainless Design
The APV Corrosion Handbook is an essential tool in helping you minimize the impact of corrosion within your heat transfer applications. Although 316 stainless steel offers excellent resistance to a wide range of chemical and non-chemical environments, it does not offer immunity to all. In the case of the food. I have tried electropolishing 400 series stainless steels, but they do not develop the highly bright finish that 304 & 316 achieve when electropolished using solutions containing phosphoric and sulfuric acid. I believe the Electropolishing Engineering Handbook lists some formulas for 400 stainless steel electropolishing. Also some of the.

Hi,
I have a building where the architect wants a cant. canopy with WTs flanges down and glass hanging from below. The longest dimension of the cant. WT is 13'. Using ASTM A992 carbon steel, a WT9x35.5 is at full bending stress and deflection limits. (Fy = 50 ksi). The only information I've found about using stainless for structural design is that type 304 is usually used. This yield strength (Fy) is only equal to 39 or 42ksi. This obviously changes my stress limits and would cut back on the length of the canopy, and not make our client happy. Is there another grade stainless steel that can be used and easily welded to a carbon steel HSS section? I am on the SSINA's website and find it very confusing and I feel no REAL information is provided. Let me know at your earliest convenience and please provide any references or suggested reading. Thanks for your help!
