Yes, quite a bit of it. It also contains Chromium, which prevents rust by forming a protective oxide layer.

What shiny mirror-like metal is mixed with iron to make stainless steel?
Chrome is used with iron to create stainless steel alloys.
Why is stainless steel so important?
An alloy is when there are more than one elemnet present. So pure iron is not an alloy. If carbon is added to the iron that makes steel. If Chromium and Nickel are added that makes a grade of Austenitic Stainless steel which is thus an alloy not an element.
Why is rust useless?
because you won't be able to do anything if its rusty
Why stainless steel is better then iron?
Stainless steel is stronger and retards rust unlike iron
What metal is added to stop stainless steel rusting?
The most rust resistant stainless steels contain nickel and chromium in addition to iron.
What shiny mirror-like metal is mixed with iron to make stainless steel?
Chrome is used with iron to create stainless steel alloys.
What do you call metals that contain iron?
steel, pig iron and stainless steel and also cast iron
Do alloys rust faster than pure elements?
Only IRON Rusts. Alloys that contain iron may rust. Other alloys do not RUST. They may oxidise. Stainless Steel which is an alloy of iron,.nickel and chrome does not rust. , hence its name Stainless Steel.
What doesnt a scrap heap metal magnet attract?
Anything without iron in it, and some iron alloys such as stainless steel.
From what pure metales is stainless steel made?
Stainless steel contain iron (as base) and nickel, chrome, vanadium, etc.
Does Chronium contain iron?
No. Chromium is the chemical element of atomic number 24, a hard white metal used in stainless steel and other alloys. (Symbol: Cr) An element cannot 'contain' anything else.
What has the author M L Glenn written?
M. L. Glenn has written: 'Low-chromium heat-resisting ferritic alloys strengthened by the chi phase' -- subject(s): Chromium-iron alloys, Heat resistant alloys, Intermetallic compounds, Precipitation hardening 'Reduced-chromium stainless steel substitutes containing silicon and aluminum' -- subject(s): Austenitic stainless steel, Silicon steel, Stainless Steel, Steel-aluminum alloys
Why is it that steel is made up with alloy?
the various alloys have properties that are better for certain applications than pure iron. Carbide Steel is stronger than Iron Stainless Steel doesn't rust as quickly as Iron.
Is an alloy of iron that contains small quantities of?
The vast majority of alloys of iron contain small quantities of carbon. This produces all the steel alloys.
Name three ferrous alloys used by modern metalworkers?
brass pewter iron
Why is stainless steel so important?
An alloy is when there are more than one elemnet present. So pure iron is not an alloy. If carbon is added to the iron that makes steel. If Chromium and Nickel are added that makes a grade of Austenitic Stainless steel which is thus an alloy not an element.
What is the chemical equation of stainless steel?
Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, nickel, chromium and other materials. Alloys are represented by the percentage of each constituent metal. There are many different 'recipes' for stainless steel so you cannot make a blanket statement.
