Selection of steel grade

Selection of steel grade on the railing outside

What kind of steel should be applied to the outer railing?

The most commonly used to build the grade of stainless steel railings steel is 1.4301. It is often used as suitable for all applications and generally fulfills its function for long periods of operation while maintaining the appropriate Maintenance free railing components. In the case of the coastal area is recommended to use species with a higher corrosion resistance, ie 1.4401.

If you use the wrong type of steel
stainless steel, with improper installation
or inadequate care, stainless steel
Stainless steel can corrode (oxidize).

The occurrence of corrosion (oxidation) is a consequence
mainly non-compliance with clean work
inadequate protection or harmful effects
environment (the presence of sulfur and chlorine).

Stainless steel is corrosion (oxidation)
when its surface is exposed to
corrosive agents.
To local changes at the surface (spots, points
etc.) occurs during assembly when:

• use of tools, which have been in contact with iron,
• no tools are used for steel
steel,
• stainless steel to fall sparks from the grinder
angular
• come into contact with chemical substances
construction (lime, cement dust, glue, anchors
chemical, etc.)
• comes to improper cleaning and maintenance
after completion of the work.

To have a sustainable design, handrails should be paid
due attention in service.

Initial cleaning after installation should be carried out
help spray cleaner for stainless steel. To
stainless steel, use tools, materials and
of vehicles intended exclusively for
stainless steel.

The resulting swarf when grinding or chipping at
welding, are deposited on stainless steel and can
damage the protective layer of steel, and then
cause corrosion.

For cleaning should be used with the original measures
cleaners and preservatives. We recommend cleaning spray and
preservative.

Stainless steel surfaces should be
cleaned at regular intervals, as
as glass surfaces. In less aggressive environments
- At intervals of 6-12 months, in a highly aggressive - 3-6
months. If the surfaces are zanieczysczone
settlements, you can clean them with measures for the care and
maintenance of stainless steel.

If rust has already occurred, do
mechanical cleaning, and then take the measures
care and maintenance of stainless steel

NOTE

Stainless steel AISI304 type is not
designed for use in aggressive environments
concentration of chlorine, sulfur, salt (swimming pools, areas
Sea)!
