Difference between carbon steel and stainless steel knives?

It depends on the type of stainless steel you are referring to. Austenite and ferritic stainless is not heat treatable in which case carbon steel could be made far harder. However..martensitic stainless steels are heat treatable in which case they could be made harder depending on the alloy contents. Generally the more carbon a steel contains, the harder it can be made. Chromium; a key ingrediant in stainless steels, can also increase hardenability.


What is duplex stainless steel?

Duplex stainless steel are extremely corrosion resistant, work hardenable alloys. Their microstructures consist of a mixture of austenite and ferrite phases. As a result, duplex stainless steels display properties characteristic of both austenitic and ferritic stainless steels. This combination of properties can mean some compromise when compared with pure austenitic and pure ferritic grades.


Is stainless steel grade 304 and 8.8 is different?

I assume you mean 18-8. 18-8 steel is stainless steel with about 18% chromium amnd 8% nickel. 304 is in that category and is indeed an 18-8 steel. There are other 18-8 steels, such as 301 and 302, so while all 304 steels are 18-8 not all 18-8 steels are 304
