| | Summary: |
| | Stainless steel is steel alloyed primarily with chromium and nickel. The term
"stainless steel" is used for more than 120 different alloys with anti-corrosion
properties. Stainless steels have a number of outstanding features that distinguish them
from other classes of steel. Compared to carbon steel these features are, among other:
non-alloy and asymmetric stress - strain behavior, anisotropy, pronounced response to
cold forming process, different effects of initial imperfections, different thermal
properties and therefore different distribution of residual stresses and their effects on the
structure. Strength of stainless steel materials is usually assumed as proof strength at
0.2% strain, depending on the size of the plastic deformation and temperature at which
it was exposed during production and usage. This paper shows the application of
stainless steel in bridge construction (three bridges made of stainless steel). |
