Stainless steel, also known as chromium steel or corrosion-resistant steel, is a steel alloy made up of at least 10.5% chromium. The percentage of chromium in regular carbon steel is much lower. Its other main elements include: carbon, nickel, molybdenum, copper, manganese, titanium, nitrogen, silicon and Sulphur.
Stainless steel is resilient and versatile. It is exceptionally strong and durable, scratch resistant, and does not easily rust, corrode, or stain. It is also easy to clean and sterilize.
