Material verification
Mill certificates and positive material identification for critical batches.
Marine engineering
Marine durability is a system, not a label.
A 316L tube alone does not create a marine-grade product. INFINEA develops the complete load path, fasteners, bearings, joints, finishes, drainage, cleaning and maintenance around the intended environment.
| Material approach | Valid role | INFINEA perspective |
|---|---|---|
| Chrome-plated steel | A bright and often grippy surface. | Corrosion protection depends on a thin coating over carbon steel. |
| AISI 304 stainless steel | A durable professional choice for many indoor and humid environments. | Less resistant to chloride-induced pitting than 316L. |
| AISI 316L stainless steel | Generally better suited to chloride-rich coastal atmospheres. | Must be correctly fabricated, passivated, assembled and maintained. |
Corrosion-aware design
Passivation, contamination control, crevice reduction and compatible materials.
Structural validation
Calculations and representative proof, fatigue and functional tests.
Transparent documentation
Installation, inspection, maintenance, traceability and residual-risk information.
Responsible claims
What we will publish—and when.
Can INFINEA say “rust-proof”?
No. Stainless steel can corrode in severe chloride environments or poor crevice design. Maintenance remains essential.
Is the product yacht certified?
No generic approval is claimed. Vessel installation requires project-specific engineering and any applicable conformity work.
When will load ratings be published?
Only after completed calculations, representative testing, approved instructions and supporting reports.
