∙ 12y agoSteel is made by removing most of the carbon from iron . To make stainless steel, we add at least 10.5% chromium, which is the key metal that makes stainless steel. Generally some nickel or possibly manganese is added to make the steel more workable. See attached link for more information.
Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. Iron is an element and contains no carbon.
Stainless steel always contains iron, carbon, and chromium. Common varieties also have nickel, and/or molybdenum, occasionally vanadium.

How do you prevent corrosion of metals due to salty weather?
The metal can be painted with a protective layer or electroplated. Galvanization involving the use of a sacrificial and more reactive metal can also be applied, e.g. coating iron with zinc. Zinc by itself does not rust, and even if the zinc layer is scratched such that iron is exposed, iron will not rust as it is sacrificially protected by the zinc against corrosion.
How can an iron knife electroplated with copper?
Iron is more reactive than copper and can displace copper from solutions; copper is deposited on the knife surface.

How can corrosion be reduced?
The corrosion on iron can be reduced by suitable thin layer of element to be electroplated.
