Saudi Arabia Stainless Steel market is anticipated to register a robust CAGR in the forecast period owing to projects related to Saudi Vision 2030.
Stainless steel is a low-carbon steel containing 10% by weight or more of chromium. It is the addition of chromium to carbon steel that gives it the ability to resist corrosion. The more chromium in low-carbon steel, the better these properties. These properties are further enhanced by further adding elements such as molybdenum, nickel and nitrogen. Another reason why stainless steel is preferred over others is because of its benefits and physical properties. The most popular being that it is corrosion resistance and is resistant to both high and low temperatures meaning that stainless steel can be used in a wide variety of applications and industries. Other reasons include the strength possess and has been one of the reasons why stainless steel is used in the building and construction industry. It stands out from the rest because it has a long lifespan, which makes it perfect for indoor use and lasts longer than others. Stainless steel is easy to maintain, and these reasons combined often make it the most cost-effective choice in life cycle cost comparisons. Being a 100% recyclable and eco-friendly material, new stainless steel typically contains about 50-80% recycled material. Stainless steel is undoubtedly a valuable material that has many uses in various industries.
Rise in Demand for Stainless Steel
The addition of nickel gives austenitic stainless-steel alloys significantly higher temperature strength than other alloys. Specifically, it has the ability to resist the tendency to slowly move or permanently deform under mechanical loads known as creep. These alloys are also much less likely to form detrimental brittle phases when exposed to temperatures above 300?C. Nickel also stabilizes the protective oxide film and prevents spalling during thermal cycling. The Austenitic alloys are therefore suitable for high temperature applications and where fire resistance is required.
Due to its strength, flexibility and corrosion resistance, stainless steel is now widely used in modern construction. It is used on the exterior of large buildings for high impact and can also be found indoors in the form of handrails, countertops and splashbacks. Stainless steel is easy to weld, has an attractive surface and requires little maintenance. This makes it a prominent feature in high-profile contemporary architecture. The trend towards sustainable construction is also increasing the demand for stainless steel, which is often composed of 90% recycled metal. Polished stainless steel helps to let natural light into the building, thereby reducing energy consumption. This is expected to propel the market growth in the forecast period.
