In the early days, the use of stainless steel in construction was limited to certain occasions. In the past, architects were looking for a new material with special effects when it was thought that there was no suitable material. In fact, in many such occasions, stainless steel has been used for a long time and its effect has been continuously scouring stainless steel for a long time, which makes manufacturers believe that stainless steel materials used in outdoor occasions will not corrode even under highly corrosive gas conditions.
Because stainless steel has the two characteristics of durability and almost no need to maintain the surface, it has prompted people to pay more attention to its application than ever before. The prices of most building materials have risen rapidly in a certain proportion, and the prices of many materials have risen far more than stainless steel materials. The cost of maintaining and maintaining the building's internal and external structures in good condition has increased dramatically. Today's architects must seriously consider the entire situation of the building. If the building needs to be replaced or repaired for many years, then the architect's design is a failure.
In recent years, the walls of swimming pools have been made of stainless steel. Concrete, the main material used for a long time, needs to be repaired and painted every year, especially in the northern regions. Swimming pools built with carbon steel and coated also need a large area of scrubbing and painting every year, both of which add to the swimming pool. Considerable usage expenses. When the swimming pool is made of stainless steel (Type 304, 2B finish) as the side wall, scrubbing is very simple, and it can be washed quickly with water and soap. Nowadays swimming pools often use stainless steel tank walls and concrete bottoms, and the bottom of the pool is made of concrete for anti-skid.
The walls of some buildings use Type 304, Grade 8 mirror polished stainless steel as the material. The interconnected stainless steel plates are polished, colored and polished to make the walls have uniform color and reflectivity. In order to prevent grease stains, the exposed part (feet) of the large-area stainless steel plate is installed in a thick interlayer composed of a galvanized plate and a compressed plate. The polished stainless steel plate is connected and fixed with the galvanized steel plate with epoxy resin as an adhesive.
Dry stainless steel can get very soft properties, making it possible to be used as a roof covering material. It is precisely because this material is easy to form, durable and beautiful, many architects choose stainless steel not only as a protective layer, but as an integral part of the overall design.
Certain buildings (indoor skating rink tubes) use stainless steel to construct the Yongping overlapped roof, which not only makes the building beautiful from the design point of view, but also makes the indoor skating season prolonged due to the reflective effect of the stainless steel surface. Undertake unreasonable investment.
For some special structures, many problems are often solved due to the application of stainless steel. For example, there is a garage. The design requires that the garage not only protects the parked cars but also has good ventilation for the exhaust gas; at the same time, it can also allow a certain degree of sunlight to enter the garage. The selection of materials is durable and requires no maintenance. In order to meet the above requirements, the designer chooses 6*10in (15*25cm) 201 stainless steel grating, and fixes the grating on the vertical column, so that the inside and the outside are staggered to create an overlapping layout. In order to enhance the architectural design effect, the staggered outer grating The upper surface adopts a floating surface finish, the outer row of column grids adopt ordinary 2B finish, and all the inner grids are 2D finish. This changing pattern of lending gives the garage a vivid appearance.
For the roof structure of a building, its service life and appearance should be given equal attention. In the airport restaurant, in order to make the roof beautiful, the exhaust fans are covered with stainless steel plates. When choosing a covering material, the non-reflective properties of the material are also particularly emphasized. The selected village material is type 304 stainless steel, rough polished, low reflectivity, and grade 6 finish. Special attention should be paid to the choice of brightness, especially due to the glare, which hinders the pilot's sight when landing at the destination.
Stainless steel is used in the interior and exterior building structures of the office lobby. Its construction measures use stainless steel as the curtain wall. The columns at the entrance of the building are covered with stainless steel plates, and the purification devices of all windows on the front of the building are also covered with stainless steel.
The non-flowered board above the rest room of the office building is composed of stainless steel plates with embossments. Use male and female dies to punch the embossed part of the stainless steel sheet.
Stainless steel not only has a long service life, but also is a good material for making convex structures. This can enhance the beauty of the building, so it is often the main symbol of the square.
Another example of using stainless steel as the main material for outdoor art buildings is the famous arch bridge standing on the river.
Stainless steel materials can be selected arbitrarily. It has a variety of different strength-to-weight ratios to meet the requirements of various building structures. In addition, different levels of surface finish also provide a range of choices for various construction facilities to meet actual needs. The architect's bold ideas will make stainless steel increasingly widely used in the construction industry.
