What do you think about carbon steel woks vs. cast iron or stainless steel?

Outdoor Stir Fry Stove - Frequent Asked Questions.
We recommend stainless wok. The reason is ease of maintenance. Iorn wok is only better than stainless when the stove is not powerful enough. Since our stove provides powerful heat, there is no concern in heat transfer to stainless wok. You do not worry about getting rusty if you use stainless. we carefully label our stoves, they are for outdoor uses because of their high power flames. We do not recommend people to use them inside a home.

Which are better, stainless steel, porcelain-coated cast iron or porcelain enamel cooking grates?

Welcome to Weber.com
All have their merits, so it is mostly a matter of personal preference. All require little maintenance and give great sear marks. Porcelain-coated cast iron grates will hold the heat longer so you don't have to cook with higher temperatures. Stainless steel grates have a longer warranty, followed by porcelain-coated cast iron, then porcelain enameled. Replacements are readily available for all styles. Note: If you have porcelain-coated cast iron grates, no seasoning is required.

What makes stainless steel "stainless"?

Frequently Asked Questions about Steel for Wire Products
Compared to plain carbon steel, stainless steels (there are more than 300 grades) contain at least 12% Chromium - a metal that is intrinsically corrosion resistant. Because of this alloying, stainless steels form a tightly-adherent and protective oxide layer which is so thin that the metallic coloration of the underlying steel is visible. The oxide layer that forms in ambient environments on plain carbon steels (i.e.

What are the benefits of 1020 mild carbon steel in J33 iron sets and wedges?

Bridgestone Golf
mild carbon steel has less carbon in the material than 1025 and 1030 mild carbon steels common in forged golf clubs. As the carbon levels increase in the metal, it becomes harder. By using 1020 mild carbon steel in the J33 iron sets as well as J33 wedges, our engineers have developed a golf club that feels softer at impact and generates an amazing feel. Bridgestone Golf accessories should arrive into our Bridgestone Golf dealers beginning April 1, 2005.

How do I weld stainless steel?

Frequently asked questions
This is not a skill everyone can acquire. Thin stainless can be spot-welded which is suitable for the combustion chamber and case. The NGV assembly will require MIG or TIG welding. TIG sets are expensive and it may be necessary to find a specialist welder used to welding stainless steel to do the welding for you. Modern engines employ a casting for the NGV which is more stable during natural heat cycling.

Stainless Steel
Stainless steels are a family of steels that are resistant to corrosion (rusting) and elevated temperature. They must contain at least 10.5 % chromium. The chromium reacts with the oxygen in the air to form an invisible, protective chrome-oxide surface layer. This layer helps to prevent “staining” (rusting) of the surface. This does not mean that stainless steel will never rust. There are many different stainless steels with unique chemical compositions.

What is the difference between Electropolishing Stainless Steel and Passivating Stainless Steel?

Frequently Asked Questions about Steel for Wire Products
Passivation is the treatment of stainless steel in a nitric acid or citric acid solution to remove iron contamination on the surface. The contamination is from fabrication such as stamping, drilling, machining, welding, cutting, forming or wire brushing. Passivation does not change the appearance of the stainless. If the stainless has been heat treated or welded, the resultant scale or discoloration must be removed by either abrasive methods or by pickling.

What are the common types of stainless steel?

Frequently Asked Questions about Steel for Wire Products
A1: Most common are austenitic stainless steels, grades 304, 316, and 317. These have the highest corrosion resistance. These are non-magnetic and can by hardened only by cold work. (Annealed 300-series stainless steels are not magnetic, but they may become magnetic after cold working.) A2: Next-most common are ferritic stainless steels, grades 430 and 434. These are magnetic and can be hardened by cold work. The price is lower than that of 304SS due to the lower amount of Nickel.

Can Tru-Stone calibrate and resurface my steel or cast iron surface plates?

Tru-Stone frequently asked questions: The world's largest ma...
No. Our equipment and calibration methods are designed for granite and do not work well on metal surfaces. Also, our lapping equipment will not work with metals, which generally requires hand-scraping to achieve the desired tolerances. Since hand-scraping is rapidly becoming a 'lost art', it is often more economical to replace a worn steel or cast iron plate with a new granite plate than it is to have the old plate re-scraped.
