With a minimum of 17% content in chromium and low carbon content, the
ferritic stainless steel is constantly protected by a passive layer of
chromium oxide, which forms on the surface as a result of the contact
between the chromium and the humidity in the air. Once this layer
deteriorates, it regenerates itself by the same process. This specificity
makes our strings so resistant to corrosion and oxidation.
The many unique values provided by stainless steel make it a powerful
candidate in materials selection. Engineers and designers often
underestimate or overlook these values because of what is viewed as the
higher initial cost of stainless steel. However, over the total life of a
string, stainless steel is often the best value option.
SKULL STRINGS - Made in USA for Extreme music and Drop Tuning
Made in the USA from high-quality imported Swedish metals
that contain over 17 % chromium, this high grade stainless steel forms an
invisible, tenacious and highly protective passive layer of chromium oxide
which forms on the surface. It’s the presence of the element chromium in
excess and the humidity in the air that are responsible for the formation of
this layer. Once this layer deteriorates, it regenerates itself by the same
process. This unique process makes SKULL Strings resistant to corrosion and
oxidation.
