Stainless steel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stainless steel is a group of iron-based alloys that contain a minimum of approximately 11% chromium, a composition that prevents the iron from rusting and also provides heat-resistant properties. Different types of stainless steel include the elements carbon (from 0.03% to greater than 1.00%), nitrogen, aluminium, silicon, sulfur, titanium, nickel, copper, selenium, niobium, and molybdenum. Specific types of stainless steel are often designated by a three-digit number, e.g., 304 stainless.
Stainless steel's resistance to rusting results from the presence of chromium in the alloy, which forms a passive film that protects the underlying material from corrosion attack, and can self-heal in the presence of oxygen. Corrosion resistance can be increased further, by:
increasing the chromium content to levels above 11%;
addition of 8% or higher amounts of nickel; and
addition of molybdenum (which also improves resistance to "pitting corrosion").The addition of nitrogen also improves resistance to pitting corrosion and increases mechanical strength.
