| Application of Stainless Steel in the Water Industry |
| Description | This resource is an information and guidance note aimed to help plant designers and operators realise the opportunities where selecting stainless steel for applications in the water industry will yield economic benefits. The material properties of stainless steel are described and the finishes noted. Guidance is then given on material selection for corrosion resistance, design of structural members, tanks and pipework systems, fabrication and installation. Finally the economic benefits in the form of savings are summarised for initial installation, operating and life cycle costs.

| Architects Guide to Stainless Steel (SCI-P179) |
| Description | This resource provides information on the design, specification, manufacture and maintenance of stainless steel architectural components. The ‘Design and Technology’ section includes structural and performance information on stainless steel and reviews production and finishing techniques. The ‘Case Studies’ section provides numerous examples of the contemporary use of stainless steel in architecture. In each case the design criteria, finish, joining techniques, structural drawings and images for the stainless steel element are described and presented. The Appendices summarise the standards relating to stainless steel, the mechanical and physical properties the product range and the finish designation

| Castings in Construction (SCI-P172) |
| Description | This resource is a guide aimed to provide engineers, architects and fabricators with the properties and capabilities of iron, carbon steel and stainless steel castings. Castings provide high strength, ductility and toughness, efficient production methods, excellent surface finish, and have good welding and machining characteristics. These properties allow savings on materials and minimise manufacturing costs. This guide explains the basic processes and techniques of castings and provides information for the designer on welding, surface finishes, tolerances and inspection and testing methods. It emphasises the importance of correct specification of the casting techniques and the appropriate level of quality. The procurement process is explained and illustrated with flowcharts. Appendices give examples of recent projects using structural castings, including 4 detailed case histories featuring main truss connections, glazing connections, beam to column connections and compression members in a bridge. Lists of sources of further information and the addresses of some UK foundries are also given.

| Manufacture, Processing and Use of Stainless Steel: A Review of the Health Effects |
| Description | This resource is a critical review of the literature relating to health effects associated with stainless steels, from manufacture through to processing and end use. It is aimed to provide an evaluation of the health hazards against the EU classification criteria. The material itself, the manufacture and the processing (cutting, polishing, forming) of stainless steel is then assessed for hazards for exposure, toxicokinetics and toxicity and finally any further research resources are noted.

| Stainless SteelCAL: Computer Aided Learning for Engineers and Architects |
| Description | This resource is a computer aided learning program with two modules, one for engineers and one for architects. It is aimed at students and young practising engineers and architects but is also a useful source of information for anyone unfamiliar with designing in stainless steel. Each module teaches principles about stainless steel specification, design and fabrication through a range of excercises, video clips, graphs, tables and links to further resources. This program is available in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

| The Ferritic Solution, Properties, Advantages, Applications |
| Description | This resource is a detailed review of ferritic stainless steels with the aim of promoting their use. As ferritic stainless steels do not contain nickel, their price is relatively stable. The chemical composition, mechanical and physical properties, welding techniques, fabrication practices and available product forms are all listed. Examples are given demonstrating the use of ferritics in a wide range of sectors.
