The team at ALNO Product Services have vast experience in machining
food grade Stainless Steel. Our team machines a free machining
chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steel with good strength and good
corrosion resistance, as in the annealed condition.
The characterized of our material offers excellent machine-ablity and
non galling properties due to its higher sulphur content, which has the
effect of lowering slightly its corrosion resistance. It is however,
fairly resistant to general atmospheric corrosion, general foodstuffs,
sterilizing solutions, dyestuffs, most organic chemicals, plus some
inorganic chemicals but has very limited resistance to acids.
Our Food Grade stainless steel cannot be hardened by thermal
treatment, but strength and hardness can be increased substantially by
cold working, with subsequent reduction in ductility.
It is used primarily for production runs involving extensive machining, or complex parts requiring excellent machine-ability.
Our Stainless Steel in not our use in food production yet it has been
utlised in Architectural Components, Processing Equipment, Dairy
Equipment, Dying Industry, Hardware and Kitchenware manufacturing and
allied industries. We commonly used it in the manufacture of Bolts,
Washers, Nuts, Bushes, Gears, Shafts, Valve Bodies and Fittings to name a
few components.
Thus material non magnetic in the annealed condition, but can become
mildly magnetic following heavy cold working furthermore annealing is
required to rectify if necessary.
