Stainless Steel
- Stainless steel is notable for its corrosion resistance, and it is widely used for food handling and cutlery among many other applications.
- There are various grades and surface finishes of stainless steel to suit the environment the alloy must endure. Stainless steel is used where both the properties of steel and corrosion resistance are required
- Stainless steel is a relatively poor conductor of electricity. Other metals in contact with stainless steel, particularly in a damp or acidic environment, may suffer galvanic corrosion even though the stainless metal may be unaffected.
