What is Stainless Steel?

Stainless steel, as you probably know already, is an alloy of iron, carbon and at least 10.5% chromium. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel can be further enhanced by the addition of other metals such as nickel, manganese, etc. Stainless steel is considered environmentally friendly because it is almost completely reclaimable. It is also attractive to look at, its maintenance is relatively easy, and it is strong and durable.

Why Stainless Steel?

Aesthetically pleasing – When used in the form of snaps, hooks, chains, or decorative items in households, the different finishes possible with stainless steel are instantly appealing.

You can pick from a wide variety of stainless steel snaps, hooks and chains available at Baron Hardware, America’s Leading Hardware Distributor and Supplier.

Tough – Being steel at its core, stainless steel is tough at normal temperatures. It displays a level of ductility at certain temperatures, which is ideal for bending and twisting for construction applications. It is also abrasion resistant and long lasting.

Corrosion resistant – The chromium in stainless steel forms chromic oxide when it comes in contact with moisture. This chromic oxide provides a protective coating against corrosion, which is the reason stainless steel is the mainstay in Marine applications!
