Improvement of the surface performance of stainless steel regarding health and food industry

Objective

In Europe, the stainless steel market in the food industry equipment is important as it represents 80.000 tonnes per year. The goal is to promote widespread use of stainless steel and develop new hygienic surfaces by a durable control of the passive film structure. Stainless steel surface properties will be determined in terms of surface composition and topography. Kinetics of removal adhering bacteria and fouling will be carried out. The innocuousness of stainless steel in contact with food and cleaning products will be studied. Corrosion resistance will be connected with the passive film structure (CSM).
