Structural Stainless Steels
Description
Join us for this worldstainless Webinar with Tim Collins, Secretary-General at worldstainless, on Structural Stainless Steels.
Stainless steels are widely recognised in homes, healthcare settings, restaurants and urban environments, where they are used in applications such as toilets, elevators, cladding systems, handrails and architectural features.
By contrast, stainless steels are less often considered for structural applications, despite many of the 200+ available grades being suitable for structural components and products. This webinar will examine the selective use of stainless steels in structures and explain how this approach can support more resilient, lower-maintenance and lower-emissions infrastructure.
The session will explore why life-cycle thinking is important for materials selection decisions, particularly in environments exposed to chlorides, sulphur dioxides and other corrosive media. Through real-world examples, Tim Collins will outline why designing for maintenance minimisation or avoidance can reduce disruption, emissions and long-term costs.
Key takeaways
- Understand the technical advantages of stainless steels for structural components
- Explain why life-cycle thinking is important when making materials selection decisions
- Identify how designing for maintenance minimisation or avoidance can reduce long-term costs and disruption
- Recognise the emissions reduction opportunities delivered by the selective use of stainless steels in structures
- Assess why stainless steels can provide value for money across the life of a structure
This webinar is in cooperation with steeluniversity.
