Stainless steel, commonly referred to as Inox Steel, is an alloy of steel with a mass-based chromium concentration of at least 10.5 or 11%. While stainless steel is less likely to rust, corrode, or stain than regular steel, it is not stain-proof. When the alloy has less than the required 12% minimum of chromium, the phrase "corrosion-resistant steel" is used.
Stainless steel comes in a variety of grades and surface treatments based on its intended usage. In many natural and artificial conditions, stainless steels have a stronger resistance to oxidation (rust) and corrosion. Different stainless steels are suitable for different uses because they contain varying proportions of various metals. The fifteen most popular stainless steel grades out of more than 150 available are listed here.
Stainless Steel Sheet/Plates are versatile and used for a variety of applications. Typical use of Stainless Steel sheets/Plates includes construction, food process industry, transportation, Chemical, Marine, and textile industry.
The selection of these stainless steel sheets/plates is done primarily as it is corrosion-resistance, longevity, and formability. Material like nickel, iron, chromium, silicon, molybdenum, and others are melted together to form this stainless steel sheet/plate. This stainless steel metal contains basic chemical elements and they are fused together to form a powerful alloy.
