ATI Allegheny Ludlum, an Allegheny Technologies company, has introduced AL Clean(TM) fingerprint-resistant stainless steel. Norcold, a manufacturer of recreational vehicle refrigerators, offers the first large-scale commercial application of AL Clean stainless steel. "The AL Clean product makes stainless steel even more attractive to the appliance industry," said Terry Dunlap, President of ATI Allegheny Ludlum. "Appliances made with Allegheny Ludlum’s new AL Clean fingerprint-resistant stainless steel maintain the elegance of stainless steel while virtually eliminating fingerprint smudges. In addition, most kitchen stains and spills can be easily cleaned with soap and water." AL Clean fingerprint resistant stainless steel is also stain- and scratch-resistant. AL Clean stainless steel uses a continuous coating process and is available in most stainless steel grades, such as Type 304, Type 201 and Type 316. It is offered in most gauges and finishes where end-use applications can by tailored to the customer’s required gauge and gloss level.
