Properties of Stainless Steel
Stainless steel (inox) is an iron-chromium alloy known for its high corrosion resistance. The most popular grades are 304 and 316, commonly used in the food, medical, and chemical industries.
Laser Cutting of Stainless Steel
Laser technology is the best choice for cutting stainless steel because it:
- Does not damage the passive chromium layer
- Provides smooth, aesthetic edges
- Minimizes the risk of corrosion at the cut
- Allows precise detailing
Applications of Stainless Steel
- Food Industry - tanks, pipelines
- Medical - surgical tools, equipment
- Architecture - railings, enclosures
- Transport - decorative elements
Recommendations
To maintain corrosion-resistant properties, it is recommended to passivate the surface after cutting.
