I-Stainless Steel ligama elifutshane elithi intsimbi engagqwaliyo enganyangekiyo. Ibizwa ngokuba yi-Stainless Steel ene-corrosive medium ebuthathaka okanye i-Stainless Steel, efana nomoya, umphunga namanzi. Uhlobo lwentsimbi oludla i-chemical corrosive medium (i-asidi, i-alkali, ityuwa, njl.njl.) lubizwa ngokuba yi-acid-resisting steel.
Ngokwesimo sentlangano, inokwahlulwa ibe yintsimbi ye-martensitic, intsimbi ye-ferritic, intsimbi ye-austenitic, intsimbi engagqwali ye-austenite – ferrite (isigaba esiphindwe kabini) kunye nentsimbi engagqwali yemvula eqinisayo. Ukongeza, inokwahlulwa ibe yintsimbi engagqwali ye-chromium, intsimbi engagqwali ye-chromium nickel kunye nentsimbi engagqwali ye-chromium manganese nitrogen ngokwezinto eziyinxalenye yayo.
Igama elithi “intsimbi engagqwaliyo” alibhekiselwa nje kwintsimbi engagqwaliyo ecocekileyo kodwa kwiintlobo ezingaphezu kwekhulu zeshishini lentsimbi engagqwaliyo. Kwaye uphuhliso lwentsimbi nganye engagqwaliyo lusebenza kakuhle kwizicelo zazo ezithile. Ke ngoko, inyathelo lokuqala kukufumanisa indlela esetyenziswa ngayo, uze emva koko uchonge uhlobo oluchanekileyo lwentsimbi ngokweempawu zohlobo ngalunye lwentsimbi engagqwaliyo.
Ngenxa yokumelana kwayo nokugqwala okugqwesileyo, ukuhambelana kwayo kunye nokuqina kwayo okukhulu kumanqanaba obushushu abanzi, intsimbi engagqwaliyo ikwayindlela ebalaseleyo yokwenziwa kwezinto eziluhlaza kubaboneleli bezitywini.
