Stainless steel (SS) is an alloy primarily composed of iron, featuring a high chromium content along with additional elements like nickel, molybdenum, carbon, and other metals. The inclusion of chromium results in the formation of a thin oxide layer, known as a passive layer, contributing to the steel's exceptional resistance to corrosion and heat. To further enhance its corrosion resistance in specific environments and achieve desired characteristics, other elements such as titanium, aluminum, niobium, copper, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and selenium can be added. In comparison to carbon steel, stainless steel exhibits superior properties including outstanding flexibility, tensile strength, corrosion resistance, aesthetic appeal, low maintenance requirements, environmental friendliness, recyclability, and a prolonged product lifespan. Consequently, stainless steel is widely utilized in diverse industries, encompassing construction, automotive, infrastructure, railways, and various process industries.
