The stainless steel
Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, carbon and chromium with a minimum chromium content of 10.5% by weight. Chromium creates a microscopic layer (5 – 15 nm) of chromium trioxide (Cr2O3), which protects the metal substrate from oxidation and corrosion. In addition to chromium, stainless steels may also contain other alloying elements, such as nickel Ni, molybdenum Mo, manganese Mn, etc.

What is Nickel for stainless steel?
(Ni) imparts ductility and increases the ductility of steels, while causing a decrease in the transition temperature from ductile to brittle fracture behavior.
Can stainless steel eventually rust?
Most metals tend to wear away – degenerate – in contact with the atmosphere, water and other natural or industrial environments.
