1. Stainless steel

   Stainless steel is an alloy of iron that is resistant to rusting and corrosion. It contains at least 11% chromium and may contain elements such as carbon, other nonmetals and metals to obtain other desired properties. Stainless steel's resistance to corrosion results from the chromium, which forms a passive film that can protect the material and self-heal in the presence of oxygen.: 3 The alloy's properties, such as luster and resistance to corrosion, are useful in many applications. Stainless steel can be rolled into sheets, plates, bars, wire, and tubing. These can be used in cookware, cutlery, surgical instruments, major appliances, vehicles, construction material in large buildings, industrial equipment (e.g., in paper mills, chemical plants, water treatment), and storage tanks and tankers for chemicals and food products. The biological cleanability of stainless steel is superior to both aluminium and copper, and comparable to glass. Its cleanability, strength, and corrosion resistance have prompted the use of stainless steel in pharmaceutical and food processing plants.Different types of stainless steel are labeled with an AISI three-digit number, The ISO 15510 standard lists the chemical compositions of stainless steels of the specifications in existing ISO, ASTM, EN, JIS, and GB standards in a useful interchange table.

1. stainless steel

   Stainless steel is a group of iron-based alloys known for their corrosion resistance, typically due to the presence of about 10-30% chromium. It may also contain other elements such as nickel, titanium, copper, or molybdenum to enhance certain properties. Stainless steel is durable, easy to clean, and resistant to rust, which makes it ideal for various applications including construction, automotive, medical, and culinary use.

1. Stainless steel

   In metallurgy, stainless steel, also known as inox steel or inox from French "inoxydable", is a steel alloy with a minimum of 10.5% to 11% chromium content by mass. Stainless steel does not readily corrode, rust or stain with water as ordinary steel does, but despite the name it is not fully stain-proof, most notably under low oxygen, high salinity, or poor circulation environments. It is also called corrosion-resistant steel or CRES when the alloy type and grade are not detailed, particularly in the aviation industry. There are different 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 resistance to corrosion are required. Stainless steel differs from carbon steel by the amount of chromium present. Unprotected carbon steel rusts readily when exposed to air and moisture. This iron oxide film is active and accelerates corrosion by forming more iron oxide, and due to the greater volume of the iron oxide this tends to flake and fall away. Stainless steels contain sufficient chromium to form a passive film of chromium oxide, which prevents further surface corrosion and blocks corrosion from spreading into the metal's internal structure, and due to the similar size of the steel and oxide ions they bond very strongly and remain attached to the surface.

Examples of Stainless Steel in a Sentence

1. Michael Widmer:

   Nickel inventories have been drawing. China looks the strongest in months and global stainless steel production has stabilised, many larger miners said they are considering potential shutdowns at loss-making operations. As a result, we see nickel prices rallying in second half 2016.

2. Mouchegh Petrossian:

   Stainless steel or gold are OK.

3. Joe Ramirez:

   Safety and sanitation is our primary job, there are a lot of things that can happen with wine because it’s an organic product -- microbiological things. The environment needs to be sterile. That’s why stainless steel is important.

4. Josh Tetrick:

   You have lots of chickens in a facility and their throats have to be slit, you have blood and you have feathers and live animals bumping up against each other. Or,( with cultivated meat), you have a stainless steel vessel that is entirely contained without all that.

5. Leslie Henderson:

   It's a really difficult time for small brewers right now, because we use a huge amount of stainless steel, and many of us use a huge amount of aluminum too, anything that impacts the cost of our production equipment and our raw materials is going to be extremely painful for all of us.
