Why Is Stainless Steel Widely Used In The Pharmaceutical Industry?


 Starting from the small zipper to huge industries such as chemicals, civil plants, food and beverages – in each industry stainless steel has been playing a major role since 1913 when it was named ‘rustless steel’ by Harry Brearley because of its corrosion and rust resistance.

Time by time, stainless steel became a quickly adaptive material to use in numerous industries and even after that kitchenary industry took a quiet time to favour it in use as both better and bitter results were getting expected, at last in the 1940s and 50s this situation took its turning point and stainless steel get in use for the first time. 

After that pharmaceutical industry was the second most cautionable sector, but as this sector started utilising it with its high durability, easy sanitization, and high-temperature tolerance stainless steel left no option for the pharmaceutical sector to take a back switch to steel.

Today, the stainless steel market is globally sized at the value of USD $111.44 billion in 2022 with expected growth of 7.4% CAGR from 2023 to 2030.

However, in the pharmaceutical industry – there are multiple stainless steel uses such as tanks, pipe works, hypodermic needles, orthopaedic implants,  pressure vessels, and many others. Just like these objects get used in different parts of the pharma field, the grade of stainless steel also varies as per the industrial and product requirements.

Let’s look into more on this, and get to know how stainless steel is covering each pharmaceutical industry’s requirements.

Role of Stainless Steel in the Pharmaceutical Industry

The pharmaceutical industry is where medicine-related discoveries take place, then get in beneath development, and fall out of the medicines manufacturing on mass production after which it becomes available to the market for patients.


In each of these mentioned procedures, there are multiple tests under which this medication goes and to sustain the same quality to get served in the market the specific environmental and corrosion resistance, with in built durability of high temperatures, and consistent cleanliness is necessary.


And that’s what exactly stainless steel offers with different grades of stainless steel that include: 304, 309, 316, and 318, Let’s see how each of them benefits the pharmaceutical industry.

Definite Guide On Stainless Steel Grades

Stainless steel is a metal alloy, made up of steel mixed with elements such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, silicon, aluminum, and carbon. Iron mixed with carbon to produce steel is the main component of stainless steel. Stainless steels are made of some of the basic elements found in the earth: iron ore, chromium, silicon, nickel, carbon, nitrogen, and manganese. Properties of the final alloy are tailored by varying the amounts of these elements. Nitrogen, for instance, improves tensile properties like ductility. It also improves corrosion resistance, which makes it valuable for use in duplex stainless steels. Stainless Steel Grades are available in different series. All the different series are as under. 200 Series—Austenitic Chromium-Nickel-Manganese Alloys. 300 Series—Austenitic Chromium-Nickel Alloys Available grades in 300 series: Type 301, Type 302, Type 303, Type 304, Type 309, Type 316, Type 321, etc.. In 300 series 304 & 316 is the most useful grade for vari...

Stainless Steel Usage in Medical Industry [ A-Complete Guide]

Stainless Steel is used in many industries like construction, manufacturing, automobiles, defence, aerospace and many more. Medical Industry is one of them too. The Medical Industry has many standards that every material should pass like metal should not react with any other contacting surface, strong for use, easy to sanitize and more. Here are some of the properties that make stainless steel the most preferred metal for the medical industry.  Corrosion Resistance Stainless steel is a highly corrosion-resistant property. But when it comes to the medical industry, it is very risky for patients if a small amount of rust/infection enters the human body, which can create serious medical problems. Our stainless steel solves this kind of problem very well.  Strength & Longevity   How tough stainless steel is Majorly our SS bars are used in several industries (Exp- Automobile, Aerospace, nuclear, construction & nuclear reactors certain are the industry that requires mo...
