Cooking pots – Should I Buy Stainless Steel Cookware?
Copyright (c) 2009 Richard Walker
Every cook knows that having a good set of cookware is important. Cookware can influence the taste and appearance of food. It can also affect how well food cooks. Cookware can also make it easier or harder for you to make your favorite dishes.
There are many options in cooking pots. One of the most popular choices is Calphalon. Cookware has many advantages that make it a good choice. It also has some disadvantages that may turn away some cooks. Get to know a little more about all clad cookware so that when you shop for that next cooking pot, you can choose the right one.
What Is the Best Type of Cookware
Cast Iron can be alloy or a combination of different metals. Usually it is a mix of alloy, iron chromium and nickel. The different metals are what give stainless steel cookware its properties. Stainless steel does not often rust and is fairly durable, which are traits that come from the metal chromium. More rust protection and shine come from nickel. Copper and aluminum are usually used on the bottom of the pot to help with heat distribution.
There is a range of different cookware. Some is high quality and some is of lower quality. Usually, when it comes to stainless steel cookware it is better to choose high quality because it performs much better. Higher quality stainless steel cookware is usually made to minimize the disadvantages of stainless steel.
Best Pots Pans to Buy
Part of the reason why homes all over the world have stainless steel cooking pots is the advantages of stainless steel. As you will see, this metal combination has many positive attributes that make it nice for use in cookware.
Stainless steel is very durable. Most cookware will last for years, even through vigorous use. It has a smooth, hard, non porous surface which protects against cracking, scratches and other damage. It is also very easy to clean. The surface texture makes it easy to get all the grime off the pot. Being easy to clean helps the cookware keep its nice new look for years.
Disadvantages of Stainless Steel
On the flip side, stainless steel does have some thing that may make it not the perfect choice for cookware in your kitchen. However, in many cases, cookware is treated or altered to help minimize or completely get rid of the disadvantages. Still, they are worth mentioning.
Stainless steel is not good at conducting heat, so most cooking pots will have a coating of copper or aluminum on the bottom to assist with heat conduction. However, coating will still not help to heat up the pot as fast as some other types of metal, so if you need quick cooking then you may not want stainless steel. If you are concerned about getting a good quality pot then you better be ready to pay quite a bit since high quality stainless steel is costly. Stainless steel also has a tendency to discolor on the outside. It also can obtain damage if repeatedly exposed to salt water. Lastly, stainless steel almost always contains some amount of nickel, so it should not be used by anyone with a nickel allergy.
Overall, cooking pots is still one of the top selling cookware types. You have to weigh the advantages and disadvantages so that you can decide for yourself if stainless steel will work for your needs.
How can I eliminate internal cracks when nitriding 15-5 ph stainless steel. I need case hardness of 90?
I am gas nitriding 15-5 PH stainless steel to get a case depth of .0035 inch over a flat geometry. The part is heated to 1000 deg F in a chamber of 70% ammonia for 3 hours then the ammonia is reduced to 30% and baked for 8 more hours.
Problem: after the nitride there are small hairline cracks within the nitride case. The cracks extend longitudinally in the case. I have tried varying the cool rate but that does not eliminate the cracks. I can’t change the 15-5 material.
Are there any suggestions to eliminate the cracks, such as different ammonia ratio or temperature?
considering the size of the part, you may be simply have too much of a differential in material properties between the case and the bulk such that upon cooling you will get cracking, regardless of rate. (what hardness scale were you referring to when you wanted a hardness of 90?)
Perhaps a lower temperature during nitriding may help, but I doubt it since you can only drop it another 100°F or so and still get good nitriding. Might ion nitriding be an option?
two suggestions would be to try posting this at finishing(dot)com or contact a licensed metallurgist to help consult on this. I would suggest mee-inc(dot)com. They have experience solving nitrided case problems in PH steels.
