Stainless steels are iron alloys with a minimum of 10.5%chromium. Other alloying elements are added to enhance their structure and properties such as formability, strength and cryogenic toughness. These include metals such as: Nickel.

Stainless steel is a steel alloy, with a minimum of 10.5% chromium content by mass and a maximum of 1.2% carbon by mass.

Stainless steels do not suffer uniform corrosion, like carbon steel, when exposed to wet environments.

Stainless steels are most notable for their corrosion resistance, which increases with increasing chromium content. Additions of molybdenum increases corrosion resistance in reducing acids and against pitting attack in chloride solutions. Thus, there are numerous grades of stainless steel with varying chromium and molybdenum contents to suit the environment the alloy must endure. Resistance to corrosion and staining, low maintenance, and familiar lustr make stainless steel an ideal material for many applications where both the strength of steel and corrosion resistance are required.
