Today's stailness steel 18gauge 304 seat rate 103.214.60.231 ( talk) 05:27, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
I'm not a native english Speaker myself, but I stumbled over the following passage in de Section "Thermal Conduction" (which I believe should be "Thermal Conductivity"?):
"Typically, stainless steel has a thermal conductivity ranging from 15 to 20 W/mK (watts per meter Kelvin). Due to this, it keeps more energy that stabilizes the surrounding temperature."
I cannot figure out what this sentence tries to convey! Thermal Conductivity is about the ability conduct energy from the hotter part of an object to the cooler part - not about keeping energy - that's what I would rather associate with Thermal Capacitance!
Unless there is some hidden aspect that I fail to grasp, the sentence "due to this, it keeps ..." does not make any sense in this form, and I would therefore suggest that it should be either clarified or removed.
Interestingly, both sections "Hardness" and "Thermal Conduction" seem to have been introduced at the same time in March 10, 2023, and are sourced from the same obscure Website " https://blog.thepipingmart.com/", which does not seem to be scientific. 2A01:C23:799E:1900:5C09:9A68:64B2:D760 ( talk) 22:41, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
Stating that acids can be either reducing or oxidizing is incompetent! An example of acid, which may act as a reducing agent, is HI. Formic acid can be considered reducing as well. Hydrochloric and dilute sulfuric acid are non-oxidizing, but ARE NOT reducing! Stating that acids can be either oxidizing or non-oxidizing is fine, because a reducing acid is also non-oxidizing. But many non-oxidizing acids ARE NOT reducing.

Should it really be linking to specific businesses like that? Also it seems odd that "maintenance" is a subheading of "availability"; those seem like unrelated topics. 2600:1700:9DA1:1D2F:E47D:8E4E:B8B3:2A54 ( talk) 09:21, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
Tesla claims to have made some modifications to existing 30x stainless steel alloys, with R&D done by their own (apparently, in concert with SpaceX) materials engineering/metalurgy shop, in order to make a new alloy of stainless steel. Apparently, they have recently started calling this particular alloy "HFS" (per this and other sources) and are using it extensively in their new pickup truck EV. They previously just called the alloy 30X.
They don't make the steel. They buy large coils from regular/standard suppliers of stainless steel alloys. I read somewhere it may be similar, or identical?, to the cold-rolled alloy they are using for the new SpaceX huge launch vehicle: Starship. This the the world's largest and most-powerful launch vehicle ever now, larger than the Saturn V, and has made a couple of test flights. But am unsure if the particular alloy for that rocket is confirmed in reliable sources.
Given the number of consumer orders and projected production volume for the new stainless-steel-body Cybertruck, it would appear that this new alloy is an economically-significant, and clearly a notable alloy.
When might we find serious (laboratory? or academic?) analysis of just what this new alloy is? Composition? Properties? etc.? Would be good to add that particular grade/type/formulation to improve the article. N2e ( talk) 18:19, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
