Stainless Steel
Characteristics
Stainless steel is not actually free from rust. However, it is famous for its remarkable effort in corrosion resistance. When exposing to the air, carbon steels are easily to be found pitted and oxidized which is the start to corrosion. Conversely, stainless steel, whilst in the same condition, it generates chromium oxide film on the surface which protects stainless steel from acid damages and extend the product usage.
In addition, the Carbon content of stainless steel is generally controlled below 0.1%. because Carbon is easy to combine with Chrome to form chromium carbide, resulting in poor Cr and deterioration of corrosion resistance, thus the content of Carbon in stainless steel is also strictly controlled.
