Regarding the use of the online tools, tables, graphs and text contained on this website, it is well known that the performance of metals in service can be profoundly affected by minor changes in the operation environment. For example, small increases in temperature, changes in acidity, presence of trace elements such as halides, conditions of condensation or concentration, and velocity over the surface may affect corrosion performance and other properties of stainless steel. Furthermore, the fabrication of stainless steel, including mechanical deformation and the variety of joining methods available, and the skill with which these practices are applied may also alter the corrosion resistance and other properties of a stainless steel. The conditions of operation and the conscientious application of correct and appropriate maintenance practice can also affect the performance of stainless steel.
All of these factors, including:
- accurate anticipation and description of the true operating environments;
- correct fabrication practices;
- control of operating conditions;
- proper maintenance practices,
are the sole responsibility of the designer, fabricator, and user of stainless steel.
Accordingly, Outokumpu does not make any representation or warranty regarding or does not have any liability for the performance of any stainless steel products either of their own or that of any other producer in any individual application that may be made based on the information materials or opinions provided on this website.
