| Description | स्टेनलेस स्टील रेलिंग (Stenales Steel Reling), or जंगरोधी इस्पात रेलिंग (jangrodhi ispat railing - rust-resistant steel railing), are architectural elements fabricated from stainless steel alloys, primarily chromium-nickel austenitic grades [1]. These alloys, derived from iron ore deposits across the Indian subcontinent, exhibit superior corrosion resistance compared to carbon steel, crucial in diverse climates. Tensile strength ranges from 500-700 MPa, with a density of 7900-8000 kg/m³. While not traditionally used in ancient Indic architecture (e.g., Mauryan, Gupta periods), its modern application complements existing structures. Processing involves smelting, alloying, hot/cold working, and surface finishing. Durability is paramount, requiring minimal maintenance. Conservation focuses on preventing pitting corrosion from chlorides. Restoration involves cleaning, passivation, and potentially component replacement. Modern usage reflects the concept of *shuddhi* (purification) through material integrity. IS 6911 provides standards for stainless steel grades. [2] Its application in heritage sites necessitates careful integration to preserve the *vastu* (architecture) and *shilpa* (craftsmanship) of the original design. [3] |
