Prevent the spreading of disease and food contamination by using stainless steel.
It is interesting to discover how the benefits of stainless steel extend beyond personal cookware. Many home kitchens understand the advantages to cooking with this metal and that is why it is a preferred material for cookware and utensils. It’s durable, corrosion-resistant and has unsurpassed hygienic traits that other materials do not exhibit. But did you know this extends to commercial industries too? I have extensively discussed the uses of this metal in the marine, oil and gas, and environmental clean-up settings but what about the presence of stainless steel in the dairy and food processing business?
Prevents the Contamination of Johne’s Disease in Dairy Cows
Scientists have learned that when farmers use stainless steel water troughs then Johne’s disease within dairy cows is prevented. According to the USDA, this may save a dairy business as much as “$200,000 per year in a herd of 1,000 dairy cows.” These financial fatalities mainly consist of a production decrease/profits loss and cover the necessary removal costs of infested animals.
Prohibit Food Contamination through Stainless Steel Tanks
Stainless steel plays a vital factor in the food production industry. Stainless steel tanks are essential to the effectiveness and success of this business.
Stainless steel does not corrode and is highly rust-resistant meaning when chemicals and food acids come into contact with this material the tanks stays intact. This preserves the food nutrients and tastes while excluding any undesirable toxins and/or chemicals from entering the mixture.

This is why you need to find a distributor with a proven track-record. Find one that is able to show you testimonials from other clients. If they are as good as they claim then that should be a simple task for them to accomplish.
Decide What is Best for the Money…then Calculate the Price
Take a look at your production and buying costs. How much are operating costs plus materials minus the profits? What is the price of stainless steel parts and fasteners versus other materials? Factor in the upkeep and maintenance costs. Stainless steel distinguishes itself from other materials because of its durability, longevity and corrosion resistant traits. This safeguards your profits and decreases repairs and maintenance expenses.

The space shuttle Endeavour arrives in Los Angeles.
NASA’s youngest space shuttle Endeavour is being transported from Houston to Los Angeles so it may be part of a permanent museum exhibit. The images of this monumental vehicle being taxied to the West Coast are currently featured in national and global multimedia news outlets. For me, it initiates a floodgate of memories about the main role stainless steel plays in the former NASA aerospace industry, which is also a positive reminder of how stainless steel shall continue to work hard for the new, privately-owned aerospace explorers for generations to come.
When materials are needed for the aerospace industry certain regulations and requirements must be met. The selected metals need to be reliable and efficient while working in facility environments. It must be devoid of corrosion and deterioration when placed in high temperature settings. It also must not split or trigger pitting under extreme scenarios. These traits are vital to the success of past and future exploration flights.
Steel grade 316 is a powerful, corrosion-resistant metal that remains together and unharmed for temperatures up to 1598 degrees Fahrenheit. This is remarkable but options for the aerospace industry do not stop there. Grades 309 and 310 are ideal for temperatures reaching up to 2102 degrees Fahrenheit. These properties are exactly what the aerospace industry examines before selecting and using these superior metals.

The durability of stainless steel is one of many reasons the marine industry uses it for boat propellers.
Today we are attending the Sunseeker Boat Show in Southhampton, United Kingdom. I am easily impressed by the amount of attractive and exceedingly expensive options there are on boats today. It is literally the same as living in Beverly Hills, California but taking those mansion amenities and applying them to a boat. It is beyond my expectations and the way technology and materials have advanced, the boat makers are choosing better materials for the options. One very noticeable, essential option, the boat propeller, has followed in this same way of thinking. The majority of the boats are not displaying plastic or brass propellers anymore but rather exhibiting stainless steel boat propellers.
This type of metal has a wide array of benefits over other materials. One of the most predominant benefits is the longevity of the metal.
Plastic tends to change shape, break and fray when used as a propeller. It does not have the same damage resistance traits as stainless steel. It can’t compete. This is a major problem on your maintenance and upkeep fees. For example, if you look at the water your boat glides through a numerous amount of obstacles may appear. You have to maneuver through the debris, weeds, and sometimes disposed trash before reaching open, clean water. With a plastic propeller, the material that comes into contact with it may destroy or damage your boat. This becomes an extremely expensive problem. If you choose stainless steel then the chances of any cracking and damage from occurring reduces significantly.
