The stainless steels are basically alloys of chromium and iron. When chromium, a metallic element, is added to iron in excess of 10% it imparts throughout the entire body of the metal remarkable resistance to corrosion and heat. Other elements are added to the iron-chromium, combination to obtain special characteristics.. The most important of these is nickel, which is used to produce 18-8 that is, 18% chromium, 8% nickel, balance iron. Other useful additions are molybdenum, columbium, titanium, sulfur, and selenium, all of which result in modifications for special service or fabrication. |
