Steel is mostly iron with a percent or so of carbon. To make stainless steel, we add a bit over 10% (and sometimes up over 20%) chromium, which is the key metal that makes the steel stainless. We'll also generally add some nickel or possibly manganese to make the steel more workable. A link can be found below.
Well a different element is added to make steel to stainless steel. I'am pretty positive that they add Nickel or Chromium. But I am not sure what the ratio is to over elements. And the other element that it takes to make steel is iron and carbon.
Stainless steels are chromium containing steel alloys, the minimum chromium content of the standardised stainless steels is 10.5%. The better corrosion resistance is due to a chromium oxide film that is formed on the steel surface. This extremely thin layer, under the right conditions, is also self-repairing.
Besides chromium, typical alloying elements are molybdenum, nickel and nitrogen, Nickel is mostly alloyed to improve the formability and ductility of stainless steel
Well first of all there are about 80 different stainless steel. Here is an extremely quick overview.
Iron is melted and the first most important alloying element is added - CARBON.
It is iron plus carbon that makes steel. Usually traces of Manganese is then added as this helps with sulfiude inclusions and improves toughness. Next the very key alloying elements of Chromium and Nickel are added to make a typical AISI 316 Stainless steel - which is about 18 % Cr, 8% Ni, 0.3% C; Mn trace, Molybdenum - 1- 2% (helps with pitting) and the balance is Iron.
Stainless Steel is made up of Steel, nickel and chromium.
Stainless steel becomes stainless when Chromium is added to steel. This makes it resistant to corrosion.
chromium is added to it
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).

Gold tone stainless steel refers to stainless steel that has been gold plated. This steel may have also been stained a gold color.
The Relative Permeability of stainless steel is approximately 1. This is applicable to stainless steel with no or hardly any magnetic property.
Gold tone stainless steel refers to stainless steel that has been gold plated. This steel may have also been stained a gold color.
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).
stainless steel
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.
