stainless steels
Rustproof kitchen alloys
Stainless steels are steel alloys containing chromium, which forms a protective oxide layer that resists rust and corrosion.
Different grades vary in composition and properties—some are magnetic, others not; some excel in cutlery, others in surgical instruments or industrial equipment.
