Applications
Washing Machines
Washing machines and tumble dryers use a number of stainless steel components. As our stabilized ferritic stainless steels are designed to avoid intergranular corrosion during welding, they are particularly well-suited for washing machines. Depending on the assembly process, stainless steel can be used for a tumble dryer’s drum wrapper and rear panel.
Dishwashers
Dishwashers can benefit from a wide-range of stainless steel products, grains and finishes. The choice between using ferritic or austenitic stainless steels will depend on the level of corrosion resistance and formability required.
Small Appliances
Thanks to its recyclability, durability, versatility, ease-of-use, cleanliness and aesthetic appeal, stainless steel is the material of choice for applications of every kind and a ubiquitous part of our daily lives. From the coffee machine and toaster that prepare your breakfast to the kettle that makes your night-time tea, stainless steel can be found in many of small home appliances.
Cooking Utensils
Modern stainless steel pots and pans ensure efficient and even heat transfer. Typically, they are also suitable for induction cooking. Due to their excellent cleanability, kitchenware and sinks will stay bright and shiny almost indefinitely.
