In metallurgy, stainless steel, also known as inox steel is a steel alloy with a minimum of 10.5% chromium content by mass.
There are 4 types of stainless steel grades based on the composition.
Austenitic stainless steel contains a maximum of 0.15% carbon.
Martensitic stainless steels have about 0.1 - 1 % carbon, giving it more hardness but making the material a bit more brittle. With proper heat treatment, these steels are used for such products as razor blades, cutlery, and tools.
The surgical stainless steel alloys use 316 low-carbon steel.

Well there are different types of the stainless style present all of them contain different amount of carbon percentage.
The most commonly used stainless steel is Austenitic stainless steel composed approximately 70% of the total and it contain carbon maximum amount about 0.15%.
Also , the Martensitic stainless steels composed of maximum of 1% carbon in it which result in more hardness in them .
Another type is Ferritic stainless steel and it contain very low amount of carbon far below than other types.
