Stainless steel & special alloy steel

Welcome to Sambu Stainless Forging Co., Ltd., a specialist supplier of stainless steel and special alloy materials.

Sambu Stainless Steel Forging specializes in stainless plate cutting and holds a large inventory of major stainless-steel grades, 304(l) and 316(L), ranging from 9T to 100 T. The company has adopted the latest plasma cutting M/C and the latest PC/NC operation method from HYOERTHEM in the United States and has many years of experience in performing large-scale cutting (maximum width: 3200mm ~ maximum length: 12500mm) and complex model cutting.

01Plasma cutting

Plasma cutting is a method that melts and removes the material to be cut by narrowing the arc using a metal nozzle and intensively projecting a high temperature, flow rate, and high energy density beam onto the cutting area.

04 WHAT IS STAINLESS STEEL?
[ ETYMOLOGY OF STAINLESS STEEL ]
The suffix LESS, referring to the absence of something, is added to STAIN, referring to rust, therefore denoting steel that does not easily rust.
[ HISTORY OF STAINLESS STEEL ]
The suffix LESS, referring to the absence of something, is added to STAIN, referring to rust, therefore denoting steel that does not easily rust.
[ WHY STAINLESS STEEL DOES NOT RUST EASILY ]
When stainless steel contains 12% chromium (Cr), the main component, it naturally forms a very thin Cr2O3 (10~50Å) layer (passivity layer), which blocks oxygen from entering the metal matrix, making it resistant to rusting.
Addition of
Cr to steel
  • Knife Blade(1.5%Cr)
  • When added: Poor molding
  • A small amount added: severe rust generation
  • Study of corrosion characteristics (1820) M. Faraday (England)
