Stainless steel is a term used to describe about 200 steel alloys that have remarkable resistance to heat and corrosion. Carbon content varies from 0.03% to 1.2%.

Its notable feature is its high chromium content. Stainless steel contains at least 10.5% chromium, which improves its corrosion resistance and strength.

When exposed to air, the chromium in the alloy forms a passive oxide layer. This protective layer prevents further corrosion, making the alloy rust-proof. Under normal working conditions, this mechanism keeps the product spotless for a long time.
