Stainless Steel

A family of related corrosion-resistant alloys. Stainless Steel contains 12-20 % chromium which gives it excellent resistance to stain or rust. The Chromium forms a protective clear oxide layer which ensures the corrosion resistance is consistent even when fabricated. The materials corrosion resistance will be maintained even if the surface is cut or damaged.

Stainless steels are identified by a system of numbers:

300 series stainless contains chromium and nickel
- 302
- 303
- 304
- 304L
- 316
- 316L
400 series stainless contains chromium
- 403
- 405
- 410
- 416
- 420
