Stainless steel is renowned for its resistance to corrosion. Moreover its mechanical properties make it particularly suitable for casting and for structural uses.
Stainless steel can have different mechanical performances or corrosion resistance, depending on the concentration and the presence of different elements, such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, titanium etc.
Stainless steel is conventionally classified into three macro categories: martensitic, austenitic and ferritic.
Stainless steels which – beside the necessary percentage of Chromium – contain a good amount of Nickel and possibly of Molybdenum.
