Current Applications of Stainless Steel Structural Materials in Japan

摘要

In construction, stainless steel is widely applied in building walls and roofs and other structural sections requiring corrosion resistance and decorativeness. While most of the stainless steel products applied as structural members are stainless steel sheets, structural members requiring stainless steel plates are showing an increasing trend.
