Steel Name and the Quality

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel, also known as inox steel or inox from French inoxydable, chromium contain in this steel minimum 10.5% make this steel is stand to corrode. All types of stainless steel resist attack from low acid. Stainless types are 304. 316 and 317 and more type. Stainless steel 304 only stand to high pH like in NaOH, in low pH this steel have bad stand. Stainless steel type 304 is purpose for building  construction or for support of piping line and many other use in Industry. Stainless 316 say as standard of molybdenum bearing grade, the best choose after stainless steel 304 because of this price is more higher than 304, so stainless steel 316 become second important to 304 among the austenitic stainless steel.

Molybdenum contain in the steel make stainless steel 316 have better overall corrosion resistance properties than grade of 304, especially if use in acidic surrounded environment, such as in Chemical Industries. But for general purposes that need stand to corrode you can choose just stainless steel 304. Stainless steel 316 L have low carbon version of stainless 316 and more stand to corrode. This steel is extensively use in heavy gauge welded components (over about 6 mm). While stainless steel 316H have high carbon content, so it suitable for use in elevated temperature.

Alloy Steel

Stainless steel include of alloy steel, like monel, bronze and brass. Each of  alloy steel have their own composition and have their specialty, for monel have contain of nickel (up to 67%) and other substance like copper and carbon.

Solubility of Chromic Acid

The kind of chromic acid are vary, there are technical uses and analytical purposes. Chromic acid is acidic chemicals with red color. Sometimes very strong red and sometimes pale red color. Chromic acid is poisonous chemicals if inhale of fume, and corrosive agent if dilute in water and contact with steel. Chromic acid concentration can be analyses in laboratory use certain method to analyses this substance. Chromic acid is produce in chrome industry, uses some high tech to produce this acid. Supplier will distribute this acid to all over the world. Chromic acid is dangerous if exposed to our body directly, so safety precaution and safety equipment should be use on handle this chemical. Chromic acid have carcinogenic characteristic if stay long time in our body. So people who work with this chemicals must read first MSDS of chromic acid. The formula of chromic acid is H2CrO4 and H2Cr2O7 each type of this formula have different characteristic on application. Some product purpose sh...

Bronze Product

Bronze often use in spare parts of Industry. Such as bearing and rolls. Bearings are also made largely from the 12% - 20% tin-copper alloys, and belts are the principal product made from copper-tin alloys with from 20% to 25% tin. Bronze also use to produce art product like for Gong in Indonesia. Because this metal have good sound and can hear in far distance. See Also: Bronze Application

Bronze Alloy

The bronze alloy is among the oldest artificially produced alloys. The bronze age was coined by archaeologists to characterize the period following the neolithic when weapons and tools began to be constructed of bronze. Bronze have been is made by copper metal as base metal and mixed with tin and can be mixed with a little of zinc and phosphorous elements. See Also: Chromic Acid Quality
