At the NASCC Steel Conference in March of 2017, we met with an engineer about a project for the world famous Coors Brewery in Golden, Colorado. The project required a custom shape to replace existing stainless steel rails that dated back to the 1960’s.
Steel has been used in architecture, engineering, landscapes, interiors, maritime construction, and art installation for centuries. It is one of the most common building materials used throughout the industrialized world. Steel is strong, durable, versatile, and recyclable. Stainless steel has the advantage of being extremely resistant to corrosion and requires virtually no maintenance. Steel is…
In 2017, we were contacted by a customer in Florida regarding a very interesting project they were doing for Walt Disney World’s Epcot Theme Park. The project involved the large salt-water aquarium with material being exposed to the water therefor a corrosive resistant material was needed.
The use of stainless steel components for building facade enclosures is not a new concept. The crown of the Chrysler Building in New York City was clad in austenitic stainless steel, dating back to 1930. The windows and mullions were also stainless steel. This iconic building shimmers in daylight and under directional lighting at night…
With laser fusion technology in the stainless steel industry, architects, engineers, and other design professionals are truly excited about the possibilities when it comes to curtain wall systems and interior partition design. Laser fused stainless steel is structurally sound, precise, handsome, and corrosion resistant. The process of laser fusion allows for clean lines, barely visible…
In June of 1959, the first roller coaster attraction opened at Disneyland Park in Anaheim called the Matterhorn Bobsleds. This ride was also the first tubular steel roller coaster in the world. Since its opening, there have been several refurbishment projects and upgrades to this one-of-a-kind attraction.
Do not let the name Stainless Structurals America fool you. We are more than just a stainless structural profile company. With our laser fusion process, we can also produce custom carbon steel profiles used in the fields of architecture, engineering and construction.
There are many ways to cut stainless steel. Laser cutting and plasma cutting are fairly standard practices in modern steel production. They both have a place due to different advantages.
You always thought, producing uneqal leg stainless steel angles is impossible? The production is no rocket science, but you can find these special shapes in scientific applications as well.
Duplex stainless steel grades are becoming more commonly used in the pulp and paper industry. So let’s take a closer look at some of the benefits of using this material.
