Material Selection

Choosing the right material is the basis of durability and safety. Environment (humidity, salt spray, heat, load) decides material + finish.

MaterialTypeEnvironmentFeature
304 (A2)General stainlessDaily moisture, indoor & general outdoorBest value, most common
316 (A4)Molybdenum stainlessCoastal, marine, chemicalBetter chloride resistance
2205Duplex stainlessHigh corrosion, high strengthStrength + corrosion
Carbon steel (Zinc)Coated carbonDry indoor, structuralLow cost, rust-proof needed
Carbon steel (Dacromet)High-corrosion coatedAutomotive, outdoorNo H2 embrittlement
Brass / CopperNon-ferrousConductive, decorativeGood conductivity
Titanium / AlloySpecialAerospace, medicalLight, strong, heat resistant

Selection Tips

  • Dry indoor: zinc-plated carbon steel balances cost and basic rust proofing.
  • Outdoor / coastal: 304 first; near sea or chemical, choose 316; marine, 2205.
  • Structural load: high-strength alloy steel (10.9 / 12.9 gr) with proper finish.
  • Conductive / decorative: brass, copper or natural stainless.
