Flat steel refers to steel with a width of 12-300mm, a thickness of 3-60mm, a rectangular section and a slightly blunt edge.

Flat steel can be used directly as finished steel, and can also be used as metal self-finished materials for welded pipes and laminates. Application: Flat steel can be used to make iron hoops, tools and machine parts, or as building structures, escalators.

Pickling is the process of treating the surface of steel with an acidic solution to remove impurities and create a uniform appearance.

The pickling process can be used on all types of steel, including surface rounds. Surface round square steel is a steel commonly used in construction and manufacturing. Pickling surface round and square steel can improve the appearance of the steel and make it easier to weld

A stainless steel hex bar is a piece of stainless steel with a hexagonal cross-section. It is used in a variety of applications from construction to automotive and is available in a variety of grades and sizes.

A hexagonal bar is a bar with six straight sides and corners. It is used in many applications where strength and precision are required. They are corrosion resistant and have a high strength to weight ratio.

Why is stainless steel fire resistant?

When it comes to withstanding high temperatures, stainless steel is king. This durable metal can withstand heat up to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit without weakening or melting. So why is stainless steel so fire resistant?

There are a few reasons why stainless steel is so resistant to fire. First, its melting point is much higher than that of most other metals. Second, it has a high chromium content which forms a protective oxide layer on the metal's surface. This layer prevents oxygen from reaching the metal and causing it to burn.

Stainless steel's fire resistance makes it an ideal material for use in high-temperature environments such as power plants, chemical plants, and food processing facilities. It is also used in construction, particularly in areas where wildfires are a risk.
Real-world examples of fire resistance in stainless steel

There are many real-world examples of fire resistance in stainless steel. One example is the use of stainless steel in cooking equipment. Stainless steel doesn't conduct heat as well as other materials, so it can withstand high temperatures without warping or melting. This makes it ideal for use in ovens, stoves, and other cooking appliances.

Another example of fire resistance in stainless steel is its use in buildings and construction. Stainless steel is often used in cladding, which is a type of exterior wall paneling that can help protect a building from fire spread. It's also used in structural applications like beams and columns, where its fire resistance can help prevent collapse during a fire.

These are just a few examples of how stainless steel's fire resistance makes it a versatile and valuable material for many applications.
The refractory performance of stainless steel is stable

Stainless steel fireproof glass door refers to the door that can meet the requirements of fire stability, integrity and insulation in a certain period of time. It is located in the fireproof partition, evacuation stairwell, vertical shaft and other fireproof dividers with certain fire resistance.

Stainless steel fireproof glass doors are made of stainless steel materials for the door frame, door frame and door panel. If the door is filled with material, it is filled with non-toxic and harmless fire insulation material for human body. And with fireproof hardware accessories composed of a certain fire performance of the door, stainless steel fire door in addition to the role of ordinary doors. It also has the effect of preventing the spread of fire and smoke diffusion, which can prevent the spread of fire within a certain period of time and ensure the evacuation of personnel.
Features of stainless steel refractory Windows

1.Using 304# stainless steel coil as raw material, precision stainless steel window profiles are formed by cold bending and continuous welding through automatic production line.

2.With high strength, high melting point, high precision, no rust;

3.Multi-type hardware accessories can be matched: supporting stainless steel slip brace with hinge (hinge) and wind support function, two points lock waterproof performance is better, indoor and outdoor only see the hand, the appearance is more neat and beautiful;

4.The matching hidden hinge hidden window shutter meets the closing requirements of Class C fire window, the hinge and window shutter are hidden in the sash material;

5.The molding process is complex, belongs to the high-tech products, the market space is vast.

Stainless Steel is the Safest Choice

There are lots of researches comparing carbon steel, aluminum and galvanized steel to stainless steel. The overwhelming conclusion is that stainless steel outweighs these other metals in corrosion resistance, durability, life-cycle cost savings, and now even fire prevention. The economic benefits and fire safety aspects are unmatched. HUACI metals can help you with your next structure design where fire prevention and safety is indispensable. If you need a curtain wall or structure in 316/L stainless or even 2205 duplex stainless steel, we can make it. Contact us today for your next fire resistant project.

316/L Stainless Steel and Fire Resistance

This type of steel is best suited for the manufacturing of medical, marine and food applications. It has better non-magnetic properties than other stainless ones. Due to that, it is popular in wire cloth, springs and hose braiding. You can also see stainless steel in coastal architectural paneling, chemical and petrochemical equipment as well as in engineered components.

Hardening treatment of this metal can be done after heating to 1,010-1,120 degrees Celsius and cooling rapidly. Because of the chromium content of 316, this heat resistance melting range will not affect its oxidation resistance.

HUACI metals had testing done on 316 type door and frames to test their fire resistance. This test lasted two hours and ten minutes. In the end, it showed a temperature of only 98 degrees Celsius on the ‘safe’ side of the door. The doors and frames suffered minor discoloration and thermal distortion of the steel. However, the doors maintained their entire structural integrity throughout the test. This test and others done continue to prove that 316 stainless is a great choice for fire resistance and prevention.

About the fire performance of stainless steel

Stainless steel is an excellent fire performer, offering superior fire resistance compared to other materials. It is highly resistant to heat and can withstand temperatures up to 1,400°C without discoloring or melting. Additionally, stainless steel has a low thermal conductivity, meaning that it does not easily transfer heat and can protect building occupants from the effects of a fire. It also resists corrosion from smoke and corrosive building materials, making it a great choice for areas subject to high temperatures or intense flames.
