Stainless steel frames

We manufacture stainless steel reinforcement

With its expertise and leading position, SAMT is now one of the benchmark companies in the reinforcement industry. From technical design to on-site installation, we support you at every stage of your projects, guaranteeing reliability, responsiveness and quality for projects of all sizes.

In our workshop in Salon-de-Provence, which specialises in the manufacture and sale of reinforcement connections, a production hall has been set up to house a machine dedicated to stainless steel reinforcement bars. This facility ensures contamination-free manufacturing (no carbon steel dust or chips), thus meeting the most stringent requirements in terms of durability and performance.

Today, we offer comprehensive and distinctive expertise, making SAMT a trusted partner for all high value-added projects.

WHY CHOOSE STAINLESS STEEL?

Durability & strength

  • Corrosion resistance:
    mechanical properties and appearance preserved, even in marine, humid or industrial environments.
  • Exceptional longevity:
    much longer service life than conventional steel.
  • Reduced maintenance:
    fewer inspections, fewer production or traffic stoppages.

Mechanical performance

  • High strength:
    durable structures that can withstand high stresses.
  • Properties superior to steel:
    tensile strength, elastic limit, creep, fatigue resistance.
  • Enhanced safety:
    compliant with EUROCODE 8 (seismic zones), improved fire resistance.

Design optimisation

  • Reduced cross-sections:
    weight savings and lower implementation costs.
  • Concrete optimisation:
    thinner, lighter structures, transport savings.
  • Targeted durability:
    stainless steel reserved for the most exposed areas.
  • Architectural freedom:
    reinforcements that can be flush with the surface without risk of damage.

Additional advantages depending on the grade

  • Non-magnetic:
    ideal for hospitals, airports, rail networks and underground systems.
  • Low thermal conductivity:
    effective treatment of thermal bridges.
  • Versatility:
    suitable for new builds, repairs, prefabricated elements and cast-in-place elements.

An economical and environmentally friendly choice

  • Reduced overall cost
    thanks to its durability and lack of maintenance.
  • A sustainable and responsible solution
    that promotes ethical and environmentally friendly asset management.

Have you ever seen a voussoir made entirely of stainless steel reinforcement?

New Larivot Bridge – Cayenne (French Guiana, France)

The voussoirs for abutments C0 and C20 were reinforced with grade 1.4462 steel, cut and shaped at our factory in Salon-de-Provence, shipped by sea freight and assembled on site by our teams. This project perfectly illustrates the ability of stainless steel to resist corrosion and extend the service life of infrastructure, even in extremely aggressive environments (mangroves with high tidal ranges).

TECHNICAL DATA

SAMT works directly with the largest European steel mills (Swiss Steel/Ugitech, Cogne, Roldan, etc.).
Thanks to these partnerships, we guarantee short lead times for the grades most commonly used in civil engineering:

1.4462 and 1.4362 available in bars and coils, depending on diameter.

Stocks available immediately:
• 1.4462: Ø8 to Ø14 in coils
• 1.4362: Ø8 to Ø14 in coils

For specific requirements and customised volumes, we can produce the grade that perfectly meets your specifications.
