KARA is the Aperam brand for ferritic stainless steels
Unlike other stainless steels, the KARA range doesn’t contain nickel and is thus immune from the erratic price fluctuations of this alloying element. As a result, prices are more stable over time, giving KARA a strong argument in the construction sector where project cost and economic design are key elements.
