[size=1]Stainless steel is an iron alloy that is used in a wide range of everyday applications because of its exceptional resistance to stain and rust. There are more than 57 types of stainless steels that are used in an extensive number of applications and industries, such as building exteriors and roofing, water supply piping, bulk materials handling equipment, sporting goods, infrastructure such as railways and bridges, and many more.[/size]
[size=1] [/size]
[size=1]The food processing industry in North America is one of the largest users of stainless steel, utilizing about 200,000 tons per year on a variety of products, such as commercial stainless steel sinks, stainless steel kitchen shelves, and stainless steel work tables. Because of its durability, economy, sanitary design, easy cleaning, and good corrosion resistance, stainless steel is used in many food processing and cooking equipment applications.[/size]

Steel is made by a series of processes. First, steel is melted. While the steel is molten, some elements like sulfur are removed and some elements like manganese, vanadium, and boron are added. Elements that are removed to make one grade of steel to make it more formable will be added to a different grade of steel to make it stronger. Next, elements like silicon and aluminum that combine with oxygen to make solid compounds that have high melting temperatures are added to keep the oxygen from forming compounds that might melt when the steel is heated for rolling. These compounds can remain as microscopic particles, called ‘inclusions’. Current steel making practices have greatly reduced the size and frequency of these inclusions.

Alloy steels contain significant amounts of elements other than carbon. These alloying elements increase hardness, strength, or chemical resistance, while also saving weight. The elements most commonly added to make alloy steels are: silicon, copper, nickel, chromium, manganese, tungsten, molybdenum, and vanadium.

For SAE/ASTM 10XX steels, the last two numbers are the approximate carbon content. For example, 1008 steel contains about 0.08% carbon and 1018 steel contains about 0.18% carbon.

Steel is a uniquely versatile combination (alloy) of iron and carbon. The iron atoms can organize themselves in several different three-dimensional geometric arrangements (called lattice structures). The carbon atoms can occupy several different locations between the iron atoms. Different heating and cooling paths result in different arrangements of the iron and carbon atoms. Adding other chemical elements changes the mechanical properties of the steel and its response to heat treatment.
A “Steel Grade” is a defined chemistry that has been made and processed in a particular way. (A “Standard” specifies away of doing something. It might be a test method, a packaging method, or a delivery protocol.)
ASTM Grades meet the exacting standards for specific grades of steel developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials. The standards include mechanical properties and steel chemistries and specify the testing methods to be used. For some grades, additional steelmaking and thermal processing is also specified. You can be confident that these steel plates will meet your customer’s expectations.

| What Is The Difference Between 3003 Alloy And 8011 Alloy? |
|

Visual inspection is invisible, but the content of some trace elements in the ingredients is slightly different.
Both 3003 and 8011 can be used as raw materials for aluminum foil lunch boxes. If the state is H24, the elongation of 3003 is lower than that of 8011 aluminum foil, but the tensile strength of 3003 is higher.
Foreign products use 3003 grade aluminum foil.

| When To Buy Aluminum |

If You Need Something Lighter.
Aluminum is the material of choice for many vehicles for a number of reasons. Firstly, aluminum is lightweight while still being a hard material. Thus, aluminum can allow cars to still move fast and maneuver as intended. Cars as well as planes are known for being made of aluminum.
If You Don't Want Rust Or Corrosion.
Barring stainless steel, steel in general can rust or corrode much faster than aluminum, so if your products depend on looking flawless or appealing, you will tend to fare better with aluminum. Aluminum is great for vehicles as it can be painted to flaunt flashy colors and not rust for a while.
If You Need Something More Elastic.
Whereas steel can break, aluminum can bend, keeping it intact and usable despite any and all deformations. Aluminum is much easier to dent or bend, but there are times in which this is an advantage over steel than a disadvantage. If steel snaps in pieces, then it is virtually unusable and very difficult to restore. Therefore, aluminum will tend to be easier to repair.
If You're Short On Money.
Like steel, if you are on a small budget and need to buy a metal right away, aluminum can work for general-purpose applications.

Both steel and aluminum are used for making heavy-duty applications such as vehicles, buildings, machines, utilities, and more. Even if you are buying materials in sheets for shells, insulation, or something else, it's important to note that one type of metal isn't universally better than the other.
Prices Of Steel And Aluminum
The prices of aluminum and steel both change depending on the time you buy as well as the distributor, so sometimes steel will be more expensive, and other times, it will be aluminum. This is due to the supply and demands of aluminum and steel which cause prices to rise or lower. In recent times, aluminum has been known to be the pricier of the two, more often than not. With that said, the quality of both materials is pretty much the same, but they work in drastically different ways from one another. Here are some instances of when to buy either material for your projects.
