Stainless steel has become an indispensable high-end material in modern architectural design due to its unique physical and chemical properties, especially for landmark buildings, seaside facilities, industrial plants and green energy-saving projects. The following are its key advantages in the construction field:

1. Excellent corrosion resistance
Anti-chloride ion corrosion: Austenitic stainless steels such as 304/316L can withstand corrosive environments such as marine atmosphere, acid rain, and snow melting agents, and are the first choice for coastal buildings (such as cross-sea bridges, dock facilities) and chemical plants.

Maintenance-free and long life: Compared with ordinary carbon steel, stainless steel building components (such as curtain walls and roofs) can remain maintenance-free for more than 50 years, greatly reducing the cost of the entire life cycle.

2. High-strength and lightweight design
Application of high-strength steel grades: Duplex stainless steel (such as 2205) can reach more than 2 times the strength of ordinary carbon steel, allowing for reduced material usage and lightweight structures (such as large-span roofs of airport terminals).

Seismic and shock resistance: Excellent ductility (elongation at break > 40%) can absorb seismic energy and is suitable for high-rise buildings in seismic zones.

3. Aesthetic expression
Diverse surface treatment: Through polishing (mirror/brushed), embossing, titanium plating (PVD) and other processes, it presents metallic texture, color coating or antique effect to meet the aesthetic needs of modern architecture (such as the curved surface design of Zaha Hadid Architects).

Self-cleaning characteristics: Some surface treatments can reduce dust adhesion and reduce cleaning costs (such as the facade of high-speed railway stations).
