Steel is a composition of (primarily) Carbon and Iron. The more carbon, the harder, less ductile the steel.
Stainless steel is Carbon, Iron and Chromium, that is galvinized (diped into zinc, which corrodes the outer layer of stainless steel,) making it stainless.

How can you tell the difference between ALUMNIUM and stainless steel?
Grab a small magnet. It will stick to stainless steel - it won't stick to aluminum.
What is the difference between brushed stainless steel finish and abraded stainless steel finish?
i guess your buying a BMW. brushed aluminum is basically an aluminum that is brushed to make it smooth. abraded is like a snake skin but not a snake!!
What is the difference between steel and stainless steel?
While stainless steel is an alloy of steel, the primary difference between stainless steel and other steels is that the stainless steels have a high percentage (about 10% or even more) of the element chromium in them.
What is the difference between stainless steel and real stainless steel in refrigerators?
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...
Will aluminum contaminate stainless steel if used together?
No. Stainless Steel will resist contamination from the aluminum when they are used together.

Is there a test to determine something is stainless steel and not aluminum?
Use a magnet. Magnets stick to steel but don't stick to aluminum. Stainless is very weakly magnetic at best. Best to identify aluminum from stainless by weight (aluminum is much lighter) or by hardness (aluminum is much softer; scratches more easily). ***************** Though magnet test can show the difference between magnetic steel and aluminum, it cannot show the difference between non-magnetic steel and aluminum. In this case you can tell the difference by 1. weight , since aluminum has density 2700 kg/m3 and steel (magnetic or not) 7500 2. hardness, using a knife or something similar, since aluminum is softer than steel
