Stainless Steel Me

Throughout the stainless steel world there are many bodies and federations in existence. Most countries or continents have their own, there aim is to promote their country or regions stainless steel market both at home and abroad. These bodies have a wealth of information not just for their own region but in general about stainless steel. Over the coming weeks I intend to review and track down as many as possible. I will add them to the links page for easy access and will put some comments on strengths , ease of access and any relevant comments. If anybody has any new ones or wishes to add experiences please comment.

The first one to explore is probably one of the oldest and most experienced its the British stainless steel association or BSSA for short. Its roots where originally from of the old British Steel company (now part of Corus/Mittal) when it had an advisory service though later forming as an association of stainless steel fabricators with its aims to promote  stainless and support UK users and fabricators. Since then it has advanced significantly to have one ot the best web sites and support networks around. They have a daily help line with advice to members but more significantly the web site has a wealth of information from material finishes to grade guides and tolerances. In addition they run seminars ,publish books and have an excellent database of suppliers. I would reccomend uou take a look to go to their web site click here
