1. Introduction
Today, stainless steel is widely applied not only in the manufacturing
industry but also in the interior – exterior. Along with the development
of society, the demand for beauty of the house, rooms, garden garden is
more and more attention. With its shine, aesthetics and durability,
stainless steel is increasingly preferred by designers, interior and
exterior works, and households.

For the interior and exterior decoration, the criteria are set and require
very strict. Aesthetics, durability, plasticity and shaping, easy machining
must be feasible and can be applied varied. Therefore, stainless steel is
applied to this sector not only because of its special physics
characteristics but also to meet the needs of the art, even to meet the
right topic that the designer and the owner expect. want.
Stainless steel used in interior decoration – exterior is very rich in
materials such as stainless steel 201, 304, 304L, 316, … Inox also used
in this industry is diverse in style such as stainless steel pipe, stainless
steel bar, stainless steel, gold-plated stainless steel, stainless steel
mirror … or other decorative items are processed from simple to
sophisticated. Manufacturers can buy stainless steel sheet slabs, then
process them into everyday items or dots with a border pattern by laser
cutting or embossing or engraving … to serve the decoration more
special. Decoration with stainless steel appliances makes the space
more attractive, cool, clean and extremely luxurious. Not only the
stainless steel decorations also contribute to highlight other items in
the space without overshadowing their own beauty.

Stainless steel has many desirable characteristics which can be exploited in a

wide range of construction applications. It is corrosion-resistant and long-
lasting, making thinner and more durable structures possible. It presents
architects with many possibilities of shape, colour and form, whilst at the
same time being tough, hygienic, adaptable and recyclable.

The annual consumption of stainless steel has increased at a compound

growth rate of 5% over the last 20 years, surpassing the growth rate of other
materials. The rate of growth of stainless steel used in construction has been
even faster, not least due to rapid development in China. It is estimated that in
2006, approximately 4 million tones of stainless steel went into construction
applications worldwide, 14% of the total quantity consumed. There is
considerable variation between different countries in the share of stainless
steel being used in construction; in China more than 20% goes into
construction, whereas in Germany the figure is less than 7%
Why stainless steel preferred and high of stainless
steel in the interior decoration?
Stainless steel has high antioxidant properties

This helps the product to increase its longevity and durability. Stainless
steel applications in the production of users are not concerned about
the rust, or damage, in accordance with the harsh conditions. Cleaning
is also simpler and faster than with other materials.

The color of shiny stainless steel material, hard to fade to ensure

aesthetic after long time use.
Stainless steel is a standard material that is safe for human health
because it contains no harmful chemicals as well as has been removed
harmful impurities before the finished product. Stainless steel is easy to
recycle and environmentally friendly. So do not destroy the inherent
nature of the material, but also recycle it for use.

Stainless steel is a high strength, heat resistant suitable for many

purposes from the wall to the building to smaller objects such as tables
and chairs, kitchen utensils. Stainless steel is tough, tough, well shaped
thanks to chromium, nickel, etc., which help to create diversified
products to meet the requirements of interior decoration thanks to easy
combination of mechanical processing such as cutting stamping,
cutting, laser cutting, laminating, bending … Products such as pads,
sheets are processed laser cutting delicate patterns contribute to both
bright and artistic work in accordance with the style of the people.

The properties of stainless steel
Those who use and like stainless steel know the material a lot, knowing that
some of its properties are impressive and advantageous for domestic and
commercial use.
Not for nothing, when thinking about decorating an industrial kitchen, the first
ideas that appear on the horizon are the use of stainless steel cabinet on all
walls, plus refrigerators, stoves and tables, all made with this type of material.
In the same way, when idealizing the decoration of a residence, it goes without
saying that the benefits of stainless steel can also be enjoyed by those who
have the desire to include it in space ornamentation projects.
Therefore, to better understand the reasons why stainless steel is gaining
prominence in the decoration niche, just consider its properties, that are:

• Resistance to the most varied temperatures;

• Corrosion resistance;

• Easy cleaning;

• Sleek and modern look;

• Long life.
One of the best known characteristics of stainless steel is its resistance to high
or low temperatures without damage to its structure. While other types of
materials such as wood and plastic are damaged, stainless steel remains firm
and intact.
Another important point for those considering using chrome bathroom
accessories or stainless steel cabinets in the kitchen decor is corrosion
resistance, rust being one of the most common problems in other types of
metals.

In addition, the practical cleaning of stainless steel is another immeasurable

benefit, so that cleaning any room becomes simpler and more effective.
It is also worth mentioning that the material has an elegant and modern
appearance, which allows it to be used in different rooms and in various types
of items.
Finally, the durability of the pieces is a characteristic that enchants any
property owner.
In this way, whether in a stainless steel staircase or in a set of pans, opting
for the use of stainless steel in the various elements of a house is a very
assertive choice.
 .The benefits of stainless steel.

1. Durability. Stainless steel is a very strong metal and can withstand

daily wear and tear much better than other common metals used in
jewelry. Stainless steel accessories are likely to hold its original
shape for a lifetime.

2. No tarnishing. We all know how fast silver and brass tarnishes and
how annoying it is to clean it! Stainless steel requires almost no
maintenance so it is a perfect material to wear every day. Another
benefit is that it will not turn your skin green or grey from the
tarnishing metal.

3. Hypo allergic. Traditional metals can cause an allergic reaction while

stainless steel is unlikely to cause any reaction at all. For sensitive
people it can be the safest choice!

4. Affordable. Best value for money! It is cheaper than gold and silver yet it
is much stronger, requires less maintenance and is friendly to sensitive
skin. What is there not to love!?

. Production and fabrication

Stainless steel producers are continually developing their manufacturing
processes with the aim of reducing costs, lowering emissions, shortening lead
times and improving quality. These improvements have helped to control the
cost of stainless steels, within the constraints set by the dependence on raw
materials.

Market development
In recent years, stainless steel development associations across the world have
played a major role in promoting the use of stainless steel in construction.
They have funded work required to transform research reports into user-
friendly design guides and tools, thereby effectively disseminating design and
fabrication knowledge. Through case studies, education materials,
conferences and seminars, development associations have raised awareness of
the potential of using stainless steel in many construction applications. Their
role becomes increasingly important in the face of very effective promotional
activities by competitor materials, such as aluminium and fibre reinforced
plastics.

Concluding remarks
Stainless steel offers exceptional advantages for certain applications in
construction, combining intrinsic durability with aesthetics, strength, ductility
and formability. Its high cost justifies ongoing research to enable maximum
exploitation of its properties. Further work is required to develop guidance for
construction applications on the use of economical grades of stainless steel,
such as lean (low nickel) duplex and ferritic grades. The shift towards more
sustainable development is opening up new opportunities for stainless steel,
both in the construction of plant for energy generation and in thermally-
efficient buildings. Research and development activities are required to take
these ideas forward and demonstrate that stainless steel has a unique and
long-term contribution to make in fulfilling human needs whilst maintaining
the quality of the natural environment.
