Stainless Steel Manufacturing

To understand the science of stainless steel manufacturing, you must first understand what steel is. Steel is an alloy composed of iron and carbon. Carbon is added to iron to make it stronger and rust-resistant.

Adding chromium to steel makes it stainless. Chromium is a metal that is very resistant to rust and corrosion.

When chromium is added to steel, it forms a thin oxide film on the steel surface.

This oxide layer protects the steel from rust and corrosion. Stainless steel has a variety of uses, including kitchen utensils, medical equipment, and architectural structures.
