Out of all the steel products manufactured by L. Levine & Co., the one that consistently offers the most value is stainless steel. It may have a bigger price tag than other metals, but the accompanying advantages make it well worth the investment.

If you’ve been debating whether or not to choose stainless steel for your next project, consider its many benefits:

• Corrosion-Resistant: Stainless steel is so-named for a reason. This versatile alloy contains approximately 10.5% chromium, an element which protects the surface from corrosion, in what is also known as the “passive layer.” Chromium, along with other elements, also helps stainless steel self-heal if it’s exposed to oxygen.
• Versatile: Stainless steel can be used in almost every conceivable industry. Everything from precision surgical instruments to airplanes can be forged from this versatile metal.
• Available in Different Grades: Since every project has different requirements—such as strength and corrosion-resistance levels—stainless steel is available in over 60 grades. This variety allows manufacturers to save money when they don’t need the highest grade and still meet their requirements.
• Recyclable: Not all metals are easily disposed of, but stainless steel is 100% recyclable. If you’re concerned about your environmental impact, you can rest assured you’re making a positive difference by using stainless steel. 
• Heat-Resistant: Do you make boilers, water heaters, or other products that regularly come into contact with high heat? If so, you’ll be happy to know stainless steel is heat- and flame-resistant, which prolongs the lifespan of such products.
