Iron (70%), chromium (20%) & nickel (10%)
why are other metals added to stainless steel
stainless steel
Stainless Steel must have at least 10.5-11% chromium content.
Stainless steel has low electrical conductivity compared to other metals.
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...
The conductivity of stainless steel is relatively low compared to other metals, making it a poor conductor of electricity.
Yes, in common with all metals, stainless steel is a conductor, but it is not widely used as such. There are some, specialist, applications -such as stainless steel coatings to railway conductor rails.
The addition of other metals makes steel stainless.
lots of metals scratch eaily including copper steel and iron :)
Stainless steel does not corrode like other metals do. because of the tannic acid in cedar and the fact that it will be outdoors stainless steel will resist corrision much better.
stainless steel can, mercury, titanium, Iron, Aluminium
Oversimplifying it alot: Iron + Carbon --> High Carbon Steel High Carbon Steel + Chromium & other surface alloy metals --> Stainless Steel Basically Stainless Steel is ordinary Steel with a surface Chrome Steel layer protecting it from corrosion.
