and strength under heat, Stainless Steel is the best material for countless other applications where these qualities are i m p o r t a n t . . . especially in chemical engineering equipment where new processes involving high temperatures and pressures, increase the severity of corrosive conditions. To resist their effects, Stainless Steel is today being used in ever increasing tonnages by the chemical and allied industries. But in using Stainless Steel it is well to remember that "Stainless" covers a wide field of superior steels that vary considerably in their prop-
Stainless
Steel, this jet tail-pipe of one of the Navy's newest fighters blasts a 1000 m.p.h. tailwind at a temperature of 1000° F. This hurricane of searing exhaust gas, which would destroy the airframe structure if unleashed, is channeled safely within walls of heat-resisting Stainless Steel. The combustion chambers, too, which rim the engine are made of Stainless to resist high temperatures and the corrosive attack of the combustion products. Because it so ideally combines light weight, corrosion resistance,
erties. They differ in their resistance to corrosion. Their strength under high temperatures is not the same. They have different hot and cold working properties. They are not alike in their machining characteristics. They also vary in cost. That is why it is advisable to talk your problems over with our metallurgists. They know what Stainless Steel has done and what it will do in almost any kind of service. Their cooperation can be extremely helpful in the proper selection of the right Stainless for your needs—and in its efficient fabrication as well.
