This publication is one of a unified set of specifications developed for duplex stainless steel plate girder bridges. Based on the framework of AASHTO M 270M/M 270 (ASTM A709/A709M), the specification establishes the material requirements for duplex stainless steel plates used in bridge construction. Read more

Every day, energy escapes from tunnels, factories, and even sewers, mostly unnoticed. New technologies are finding ways to capture this hidden warmth, turning yesterday’s waste into today’s comfort. With the help of durable, molybdenum-alloyed stainless steels, these systems can safely recover energy from the most unlikely places, making homes warmer and heating more efficient without burning a single extra drop of fuel.

Missed Chapter 4 of our Understanding Corrosion series? This session takes a deep dive into the science behind tea staining—why it happens, where it appears, and the practical steps specifiers, fabricators and end users can take to prevent it. If you want to keep stainless steel looking its best in service, this is essential viewing. Read more

Melbourne’s street furniture tells a story of identity and durability. Built from molybdenum-containing Type 316 stainless steel, these iconic designs resist corrosion, reduce maintenance, and contribute to a public realm that reflects care, continuity, and lasting performance. Read more

Madrid’s storied Bernabéu Stadium underwent major renovation to expand its events beyond football. Type 316 stainless steel plays an important role in the stadium’s shimmering stainless steel façade. Read more

The in-ground infrastructure woven into our cities often goes unnoticed, but it plays an essential role in how we live. Drains, maintenance access points, and manhole covers must reliably function in harsh urban conditions, while integrating seamlessly with their surroundings. Read more

The world stainless association has released figures for the third quarter of 2025, showing the total stainless steel melt shop production for the first 9 months of 2025 was 48.0 million tonnes, an increase of 3.0% compared the first 9 months of 2024. Read more
