This joint AISC and RCSC publication covers the design, fabrication, and installation of connections using stainless steel bolts, aligning with the main topics in the RCSC Specification for Structural Joints Using High-Strength Bolts.

This specification provides design provisions for I-girder bridge superstructures fabricated from duplex stainless steel. While focused on I-girder bridges, the provisions may be adapted for other bridge types by considering the distinct buckling behaviour and increased flexibility of duplex stainless-steel members.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Held on 6 and 7 May in Rotterdam, Duplex World Conference 2026 is a meeting ground for professionals working in the duplex stainless steel supply chain to address key issues in from design and manufacture, through purchasing to usage and maintenance.

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.

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.

A spectacular footbridge along Cornwall’s rugged coast replaces a lost land link and reconnects the two halves of Tintagel Castle, one of Britain’s most legendary historic sites.

Nickel Institute Webinar on 10 January 2026. The webinar will cover stainless steels and nickel alloys in the oil and gas industry, focusing on their properties, weldability, and corrosion resistance.

In recent years, several Italian water utilities, supported by Team Stainless, have initiated programs to replace traditional service connections with Type 316 stainless steel alternatives to reduce water leakage. Installations carried out in Brescia, Ancona and Belluno are expected to reach around 700 by the end of the year, marking an important milestone in Italy’s adoption of this technology.
