Related QuestionsStainless SteelStainless steels are a family of steels that are resistant to corrosion (rusting) and elevated temperature. They must contain at least 10.5 % chromium. The chromium reacts with the oxygen in the air to form an invisible, protective chrome-oxide surface layer. This layer helps to prevent “staining” (rusting) of the surface. This does not mean that stainless steel will never rust. There are many different stainless steels with unique chemical compositions.Related Questions
