Stainless steel: six common questions

How does it work?

While both carbon steel and stainless steel contain iron &#; which oxidises when exposed to the environment &#; the added chromium in stainless steel makes it more corrosion resistant.

The chromium in stainless steel attaches itself to oxygen more readily than iron, creating a thin, stable film known as a chromium oxide layer.

This film protects the material by acting as a barrier that limits the amount of oxygen and water that can pass through to the underlying metal surface. If it is damaged, either mechanically or chemically, the film is self-healing.

Common steel does not have as much chromium content, which means it reacts with oxygen and allows it to bond with the iron, resulting in iron oxide (rust).
