yes. its a high carbon low chromium blend. which means it still can rust adventually but is able to hold an edge better.
a tin plate is tin and a plate, and stainless steel is stainless steel.
Stainless steel was invented in Sheffield
It's a misnomer. 4140 is a type of steel, which is NOT stainless.
Easy. A rod or electrode used in welding stainless steel. Or to "clad" a surface with stainless steel. (Nothing more than laying down a layer or layers of stainless.) MIG wire also comes in stainless steel. Their are different types of stainless steel and rods/wire/electrodes to use on them.
Per the attached related link, the density (hence weight) of stainless is slightly more than the mild carbon steel. Using about 8.03/7.84 ratio of density, for the same volume of material the stainless will weigh 2.4 % more.
Almost none...
The answer is yes and no. Depends what type of knife and its designated use. In general AUS8 or AUS-8A, which is alternate name form the maker to state "annealed" product is a decent stainless steel and works best for small/medium knives used for light cutting. In other words that is not a good steel for the large knives, swords etc. Made by Aichi steel (Japan), similar to AISI 440B steel. Exact chemical composition and comparison with 440B and other related info in the links.
There is stainless steel and there is magnaized stainless steel but you can not make regular stainless steel magnetic
steel is steel and there is nothing you can do about it even if it is stainless steel or it i not stainless steel it will rust
Yep, you can weld steel to stainless and you can weld stainless to steel. You can use steel or stainless welding rod in either case but the steel or steel welding rod will of course rust.
No; steel is an iron-carbon alloy. Stainless steel is an alloy of steel with chromium added. Stainless steel is usually 13-25% chromium (by weight).

No, Stainless steel is not porous. Steel how ever is.
Well, the answer lies in the question; by saying 'real' stainless steel, you are implying that there are fake metals which go under the name 'stainless steel', thus the difference is that the stainless steel in refigerators is actually stainless steel, and the fake stainless steel is not...thus your question is answered...
Steel and stainless steel tend to weigh around the same, however, stainless steel can sometimes be a bit lighter.
