Stainless steel is a basic alloy of steel that contains chromium, but with other alloying elements added to provide specific attributes. Stainless steel finds many applications where a hard material is required that will resist corrosive attack. Click on an image below for more info.
Stainless covers four groups - austenitic, ferritic, martensitic and duplex/super duplex. All are produced in a variety of shapes and sizes.
Even stainless can suffer from the effects of corrosion at times, but as long as the passive surface layer is maintained, rusting, and other forms such as pitting, crevice, galvanic, intergranular and stress corrosion are avoided.
