Stainless steel

Stainless steel is a corrosion-resistant alloy made primarily of iron, chromium, and, in some cases, nickel and other elements. Its chromium content, typically at least 10.5%, forms a passive layer of chromium oxide that protects the metal from rust and corrosion. Stainless steel is known for its strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including construction, automotive, medical devices, and kitchenware. It is available in various grades and finishes to meet specific performance and design requirements.
