Answer:

Hello friend, here is your answer:-

Stainless steel is a corrosion-resistant alloy of iron, chromium and, in some cases, nickel and other metals. ... As a result, stainless steel can be found in many everyday objects. It also plays a prominent role in an array of industries, including energy, transportation, building, research, medicine, food and logistics. Stainless steel comprises about 50 percent iron and anywhere between 10.5 percent (12 percent is a typical minimal amount) and 30 percent chromium, depending on the grade. The chromium oxide layer forms on the stainless steel surface when chromium reacts with oxygen. Iron is mixed with carbon to produce steel. This is the main component of stainless steel. Chromium is added to make it resistant to rust. Stainless steel is preferred for making kitchen utensils because it does not influence the flavour of the food and is easy to clean
