Stainless steels are iron-based alloys containing a minimum of 10.5% Chromium with or without
other alloying elements.
The term "STAINLESS" implies a resistance to staining, rusting, and pitting in the general normal
environment.
Stainless Steels are technically known as "heat and corrosion resisting steels". That means they
have in general a higher resistance to corrosion in some definite environment, as well have a
higher resistance to scaling at high temperature. With specific restrictions in certain types, the
stainless steels can be shaped and fabricated in conventional ways. They can be produced and
used in the as-cast condition, shapes can be produced by powder-metallurgy techniques, cast
ingots can be rolled or forged. The rolled product can be drawn, bent, extruded, or spun.
Stainless Steel can be further shaped by machining, and it can be joined by soldering brazing,
and welding. It can be used as an integral cladding on plain carbon or low-alloy steels.
Classification of Stainless Steels
Based on alloy contents, internal structure, magnetic or non magnetic properties, and other
qualities, stainless steels can be broadly classified into under noted five categories.
