This depends on the type of stainless steel. I've seen stainless steel 303 with <=0.15% carbon, which I think is typical.
If you have a specific type of stainless steel that you want to know the carbon content for you can get a pretty good idea by using matweb.com

How ordinary iron to stainless steel?
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.
How can identify Mild steel and stainless steel?
steel it self means the carbon percentage and according to which we have to specify them. mild steel contain low C% nearly 0.3-0.6% is called mild steel. stainless steel having higher C%&Cr is added to not corde
What is the difference between steel stainless steel and aluminum?
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.
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 Carbon steel and stainless steel?
Carbon steel is an iron alloy with less than 2% carbon, no chromium, and contains copper and magnesium not more than 0.6% Stainless steel is an iron alloy with less than 2% carbon and it contains chromium and it's resistive to corrosion
How difference between stainless steel and carbon steel?
carbon steel is iron with "structured" carbon which make iron strong (hard). stainless steel is steel with different percentage contain of aluminium, nickel, chrome... which give the steel different kind of other characteristics including "stainless- the ability of not getting rusted."
Is the SS825 high carbon or stainless steel?
Stainless steel

What Are The Types Of Steel?

What is the solvent in stainless steel?
carbon
Stainless steel grades?
The stainless steel grades includes carbon steel, manganese steel, nickel steel, nickel-chromium steel, and molybdenum steel. The content of carbon in the different steel grades varies.

Is stainless steel a pure substance or a mixture?
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).
What is the difference between steel stainless steel and aluminum?

Are surgical blades stainless steel?
Yes, carbon steel
Is stainless steel harder than steel?
Stainless steel is a steel-chromium alloy that is more resistant to corrosion than carbon-steel or other steel alloys. As with all steel, it strength depends on its grade; but overall the strength difference between carbon steel and stainless steel is negligible.
What material is better - stainless steel or carbon steel?
It depends on the applications. Stainless Steel is more corrosion resistant and more expensive. Carbon Steel is cheaper and less corrosion resistant.
