Hoekman Roestvaststaal BV is a specialist in the field of stainless steel processing and manufacture. The variety of applications for stainless steel are only increasing. New developments create new sorts of material; now there is even high tensile stainless steel.

Stains on stainless steel?
The wider public has the idea that stainless steel is indestructible, but this is only partly true, as stainless steel can in fact rust. Mainly because the material is not treated correctly. One example of this is a swimming pool containing chlorine. If the stainless steel is not properly alloyed with molybdenum, then rust will start to form in a short period of time. This is also true for salt water. For more detailed information, please contact one of Hoekman’s specialists or go to www.corrosiehelpdesk.nl .

Various types of material
Stainless steel has many areas of application. Each field has its own type of stainless steel. Carbon steel and stainless steel are as different as fire and water. Which is why they are kept distinctly separate from each other in the production department. To prevent contamination, all tool stamps are made of hardened material and work benches are fitted with protective plate.
