The absolutely most important property of stainless steel is the ability to maintain the same surface, colour and structure i.e. its corrosion resistance. Also below the surface stainless steel has valuable and usefull properties e.g. mechanical strength.
The properties of our stainless steels are described in this section. In our Steel Finder tool you can find data on mechanical properties, physical properties and also corrosion data from our corrosion handbook. You can access the steel finder and other available online tools such as calculation tools and publications by

Technical papers describing the properties and use of our stainless steel grades are presented in a Outokumpu's scientific magazine, Acom. To see a list of all Acoms, please visit out publications tool.
