Stainless steel

stainless-steel

Stainless steel is a type of steel that contains high amounts of metal alloys such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, titanium, and sometimes other alloys, depending on the specific application. These alloys help increase the steel's corrosion resistance and heat resistance, while also creating a surface that is corrosion- and rust-free.

Stainless steel is resistant to corrosion and oxidation, which protects the steel from damage, reduces the possibility of rusting and increases the life of the product. Therefore, stainless steel is widely used in many industries such as manufacturing medical equipment, household appliances, automobiles, aerospace, and other industrial applications.

However, stainless steel is more expensive than other types of steel, due to higher production costs and manufacturing technology. In addition, although it is called "stainless", the fact is that stainless steel can still corrode or oxidize if used in toxic environments or not properly maintained.
