Stainless steel refers to an iron alloy that has minimum 10.5% of chromium. Chromium produces a skinny layer of oxide on the steel’s surface commonly known as the ‘passive layer’. This prevents the steel from further corrosion of the surface. Stainless steel also contains different percentages of Silicon, Carbon, and Manganese. Other elements for example Molybdenum and Nickel may be added to the steel that imparts other useful properties such as increased corrosion resistance and enhanced formability.
