Stainless steel is an alloy of Iron with a minimum of 10.5% Chromium. Other elements such as Nickel, Molybdenum, Titanium, Aluminum. Niobium, Copper, Nitrogen, Sulfur, Phosphorus or Selenium, may be added to increase corrosion resistance to specific environments, enhance oxidation resistance, and impart special characteristics.
Characteristics of Stainless Steel:
• Corrosion resistance
• It does not stain, corrode or rust as easily as ordinary steel
Applications of Stainless Steel:
• Architecture
• Monuments and sculpture
• Pulp, Paper and Biomass conversion
• Chemical Processing and Petrochemical
• Locomotion
• Medicine
• Culinary use
