Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is a ferrous alloy that has a minimum of 10.5% chromium, which helps it withstand rusting and corrosion. Though corrosion resistant materials have been around for centuries, modern stainless steel was invented in 1913 in England by Harry Brearley at the Brown-Firth Laboratory. The name originates from the fact that stainless steel does not stain, corrode or rust as easily as ordinary steel. This material is also called corrosion resistant steel
