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.

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 stainless steel an example of?
A steel alloy.
Stainless steel is an example of what solution?
Yes
What Alloy was once used to make sword blades?
The alloy for sword blades was Damascus steel.
How much steel alloy is used to make stainless steel?
Yes, stainless steel is an iron-carbon alloy with a minimum of 11.5 wt% chromium content. Many of the common grades of stainless steel such as AISI 304, 316, 316L also have greater than 5% Nickel added. It improves the high temperature performance and stabilizes the austenite phase.

What is stainless steel an example of?
A steel alloy.
Can you make stainless steel without nickel?
Yes, for example, all 400 series stainless steel has no nickel in the alloy.
Is stainless steel manmande?
Of course,it is an alloy.
Which alloy never rusts?
stainless steel
Stainless steel is an example of what solution?
Yes
Is stainless steel a metal 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.
Which element is the odd one out nickel iron stainless steel or cobalt?
Stainless Steel; all other choices are elements - stainless steel is a steel alloy (composite elements).

What is the difference between stainless steel and zinc steel?
Stainless steel is an alloy with at least 10.5 percent chromium. Zinc steel is coated with zinc.
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.
