Definitions / Abbreviations:
Austenitic Steel: Austenitic steel is the one of the class of stainless steel. Austenitic steel is the more corrosion resistant because of the
high chromium content and nickel additions.
Fe: Iron.
Hot Dip Galvanization: A galvanization process to coat iron and steel with a layer of zinc by immersing the metal in a bath of molten
zinc.
Ni: Nickel.
PA: Polyamide.
PE: Polyethylene.
PI: Polyimide.
PTFE: Teflon.
Zn: Zinc.
