Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is an iron–chromium–nickel alloy known for its excellent corrosion resistance.

Stainless steel press-locked gratings are used in various industries, including the food industry, chemical and petrochemical sectors, pharmaceuticals, as well as wine production and winemaking.

They are easy to maintain and extremely durable.

Depending on their composition, stainless steels are classified into different groups.

GEI Gitterroste offers three types of stainless steel press-locked gratings, available from stock or as custom-made solutions:

GroupAISIMaterial N°Characteristics
A13041.4301Easy to weld and offers good corrosion resistance at normal ambient temperatures
A4316L1.4404Provides optimal corrosion protection in many environments, including chlorinated environments
A4316Ti1.4571Titanium-stabilized, suitable for high temperatures and aggressive chemicals

 

Stainless steel 304 withstands temperatures up to 550 °C, 316L up to 800 °C, and 316Ti up to 900 °C.

Typical applications:

Stainless steel 304 gratings: food, pharmaceutical and medical sectors.

Stainless steel 316 gratings: aggressive environments (seawater, saline solutions); suitability for other aggressive substances depends on concentration.
