This is a PRICE VERSUS DURABILITY ITEM
Steel is not a fireproof material.
Did you Know:
Normal fire grates eventually disintegrate resulting from high temperature reached in open fires!
Strength loss (loss of temper) for steel is generally accepted to begin at about 300°C and increases rapidly after 400°C.
At 427°C, steel retains approximately 60 percent of its yield strength!
At 566°C, carbon steel only retains approximately 50 percent of its yield strength and 45% of its stiffness!
FACTS:
1.
The maximum temperature that a wood-burning fire can reach depends on
several factors, including the type of wood, airflow, and combustion conditions.
Under optimal conditions, such as sufficient airflow and dry wood,
temperatures in a wood-burning fire can typically range from 1100°C to 1200°C
2.
* * * Grade 304 stainless steel has good resistance to oxidation in:
intermittent service up to 870°C
and in continuous service to 925°C.
3.
* * * Grade 3CR12 stainless steel exhibit scaling resistance between 600 and 750°C in the presence of air,
and between 450 and 600°C under stress environments.
The material tends to become fragile upon prolonged exposure to temperatures between 450 and 550°C
This is probably the only fire cradle you will ever need to purchase as an open fire starter!
