StainlessH: Yes sir we are into stainless steel for a while now and God has used us to be a solution in this field, ok back to ur question, when i advice clients to maintain their stainless steel rails its not against rusting but dust and dirty which will not affect the material directly but cleaning helps to keep the surface glossy, for example a long stay in a location like Enugu might give the surface what we call a Tea colour because of the red soil, which might need polishing kits to recover the surface to glitter which will now attract a cost and professionalism. apart from that a 304ss grade can stand the climate in Nigeria for as long as time.

Ok I see the pics and thanks for taking ur time to xplain, I was getting you all mixed up, now from the two pics on ur signature,the one bellow, would it be correct for me to say it was moulded and assembled o n site? or was it cut to shape by you, welded in place and assembled on site?Im just trying to trade brains with you I do to some certian degree know how these work as I have worked with T410 before.And B4 I forget aint 304 used for sugical equipments?

StainlessH: Nice response so far, as a company that deals solely on stainless steel fabrication we will like to drop our one cent.
@OP if you are refering to wrought or galvanize iron they are also good but stainless steel is invoke in Nigeria now and it comes out very neat when install by professionals who gives details to finishing also due to its appearance it can blend with whichever surface colour you use in your house. But the challenge has always bn how to get a good grade which is 304 OR 316 as the inferior grades of 204ss and below still looks the same interms of the surface.
The simple answer is 304 contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel while 316 contains 16% chromium, 10% nickel and 2% molybdenum. The molybdenum is added to help resist corrosion to chlorides (like sea water and de-icing salts).

But to know a good grade which can stand the Nigerian climate you need to test the materiel itself with a chemical because you can’t tell just by looking at it. There’s no visible difference between two identical pieces of sheet metal, a polished or grained the exact same way. That’s why you need a material test report (MTR) of the actual material to validate it as being 204, 304 or 316ss grade.

Although stainless steel is more expensive a good grade of 304ss can stand the test of time but the owner must also cultivate a maintenance habit of cleaning with any soluble substance like morning fresh with clean towel.

Cool, I seen one railings o n ur profile pic on here, Im very inqusitive, you said so mething bout maintainance ie cleaning etc, so basicaly Op need a cleansing solvent to make it last? aint the general purpose of making it stainles not for it to tanish? ie like surgical equipment?

Webbyguy: There is a special bending machine they use for bending stainless steel railing. If you perform heating , it may cause de-coloration. Get to a railing company to learn about that. I can't start telling you about that online.

Thanks

Ofcos I know there are machines for bending Steel, lol Im a Mechanical Engineer from ESUTH yr 2000 so I aint no novice to what you are talking about, I know you can bend it in the cold or blowtouch, You will need a 200 tone press to do this and in one direction only
Let me make it clear to you in a layman's language, You know the flat springs in our normal lorreys if given one to bend where would you take it to?
Anyway, when you do come close to o ne of them steel gates or railings, you will notice the designs are all equal, of same hight and distance from one another and it would be perfect know why? cos it was forged,even here in the UK iron fences are made of steel that where forged or moulded they are just bolted in sections.Now as regards ur railings, now tell me how i can twist a piece of steel into a flower design the size of 2inch square?,it has to be a forge

mutaalim: Before you go further what are the properties of iron and steel ?
Regards

lol leave that guy, he aint got a clue

nke001: vacancy awaits you in 4 top nigerian universities...just apply, no need for interview.

Bross U forget to see the part where it was quoted from yahoo answers eh? lol

Webbyguy: @ erico2k2 There are tools you can use for bending stainless steel railings as the railings are bend-able. Stainless steel railings are being already being used for spiral staircase in Nigeria now.

Contact a good railing company to help you with bending the railings and they will do a good job for you.
I am enjoying this name one tool plz.

I can refer you to a good railing company in Nigeria, if you want.

Brove those are polished iron sold as steel dnt B decieved,let me give U an example,would U say milk cup stainless?

mutaalim: other elements are chromium and nickel.
you can bend it with PRESS BRAKE or BENDING MACHINE as simple as that.

Regards

Now U are guessing,U cant bend steel,them chemical composition U jst described up there is ref to as Alloys in metals n compounds in flueds and liquids,Steel dnt bend in any of those methods U mentioned if nt ur coily spring in ur car would go flat,however to bend steel requires xtreem heat which the welder dnt have and the option to shape it is very limited to casting n moulding.I did WAEC 1992 and I still remember lol

Dannylux: Ababio Chemistry would be pissed at you for asking this ridiculous question.

I think your question has been answered already from the comments above.

Easy nt everybody did chemistry at sec sch.

mutaalim: A hard strong grey alloy of iron with carbon and usually other elements.
Hope I have answered your question ?
Regards

Bro there aint no chemical compound called stainless steel rather a street name for polished steel ,anyway U aint answered my question,how do U bend it to work with?

Sa

mutaalim: stainless
Regards

Fair anough, let me ask,if U knw what steel is
And if U do how can U bend it?

Webbyguy: @OP with my knowledge about stainless steel railings, it's the best option.


Stainless steel railings are more classy, strong and durable than iron.

You should also go for high quality stainless steel railings because the ones of low quality will rust while the one of high quality won't.

There are also those for indoor areas and those for outdoor areas(
highly populated environment), you should use the appropriate one for your project.

So, you can go for stainless steel railings

How do U intend to bend steel?

Depends on the area,I would advice U to stick to Iron as U can temper them but steel has to be forged
Stainless steel cant B painted but iron can
So to the above situation U would av to paint ur hse to compliment the steel..
Lastly someone said iron contains more carbon wrong,adding carbon to rot iron creates cast iron.

Available for sale still.

gedtalks: There are designer names like Prada, Calvin Klien, D&G, Ejiro Amos Tafari, Denim Kitenge .... and lots more. When you wear any of these it makes you feel cool even if the product isn't as good as the name rings.

I once saw a very fine looking leather footwear but when I checked to see the name I saw NWA-ABA. Now I dont know whether or not I should buy that footwear. Its really nice and it looks strong. What do you guys think.... Should I go ahead and buy it or not? Can you wear an ABA-MADE product and boast about it. (please note that I have a clic of friends that are really up to date in fashion awareness) and they can kill someone with yabbing

I will all day everyday as far as its not used,If its made in Nigeria why not,however it should not be an imitation of a foriegn brand ie Prada made in Aba

Still Available

jimts: Thanks everyone 4 your invaluable advice!
The issue with buying engine & transmission here in Nigeria is that you pay more for less reliable parts.
Imagine replacing an engine and transmission 4 about #320k plus in a car thats barely a year old, and then 4months later, you start getting all sort of issues with these replaced parts?! We seldom get reliable car parts here, except if you are just in luck!

Get one frm the US.there are guys on here that would sort U out.
