Because it is made from iron and other metals such as nickel for example depending on the grade of stainless steel. the reason the steel is stainless is because the outside of the steel is protected by the non ferrous layers that will replace as it is scratched or worn of.
stainless steel
Of course,it is an alloy.
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 is an alloy made up of Fe,Cr,Ni and C.
Yes
In 1912 Harry Brearley was seeking a corrosion resistant alloy for bun barrels. During this process he subsequently discovered a martensitic stainless steel alloy we use today.
the highest and hardest grade stainless is titanium 316Ti

Only when heated, which degrades the strength of the alloy.
In metallurgy, stainless steel, also known as inox steel or inox from French "inoxydable", is a steel alloy with a minimum of 10.5% chromium content by mass. so yes. it is.
Brass, bronze and stainless steel are alloys. Tin is a metal / an element.
Yes! All steel is an alloy since there is no base atom "steel". An example of a non alloy would be gold, silver, aluminum, etc. If the metal is not on the periodic chart of the elements, it is an alloy. Stainless steel is in fact defined as a steel alloy--steel itself being mostly iron (an element) with added carbon--alloyed with at least ten percent chromium by mass.
