Forms and availability Why Forms and Availability ? Delivery times and costs are major issues for architects & civil engineers While all stainless steel products start from a melting shop There are many processing routes for stainless products And stockholders, traders providing service packages And therefore Delivery times and Costs may vary widely 2

Forms and availability Future trends The urgency of climate change mitigation and of a sustainable economy will drive major changes in the years to come. A new product offer is likely to appear: re-conditioned products. Stainless steel from buildings/ facilities being de-constructed could be re-processed and made available for a new service life without loss of properties. Higher strength and thinner products, able to offer the same service performance with less material use. The development of lean duplex grades and of cold-worked austenitic grades is already taking place. 7
