In addition to iron, carbon, and chromium, modern stainless steel may also contain other elements, such as nickel, niobium, molybdenum, and titanium. Nickel, molybdenum, niobium, and chromium enhance the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. It is the addition of a minimum of to the steel 12% chromium that makes it resist rust, or stain 'less' than other types of steel. The chromium in the steel combines with oxygen in the atmosphere to form a thin, invisible layer of chrome-containing oxide, called the passive film.
The four main elements in stainless steel are iron, chromium, nickel, and carbon. These elements interact to provide stainless steel with its unique properties such as corrosion resistance, strength, and durability.
In the context of stainless steel, the solute would be the iron and other elements like chromium and nickel that make up the alloy. The solvent would be the majority component of stainless steel, which is iron.
The main difference between 18/8 and 18/10 stainless steel is the amount of nickel present in the alloy. 18/8 stainless steel contains 18 chromium and 8 nickel, while 18/10 stainless steel contains 18 chromium and 10 nickel. The higher nickel content in 18/10 stainless steel makes it slightly more resistant to corrosion and gives it a shinier appearance compared to 18/8 stainless steel.
The different types of stainless steel cookware available in the market include 18/10 stainless steel, 18/8 stainless steel, and 18/0 stainless steel. These numbers refer to the percentages of chromium and nickel in the stainless steel, which affect the cookware's durability and resistance to corrosion.
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 does not contain lead. The main component of stainless steel is iron. Stainless steel contains manganese, chromium and nickel in varying amounts. Traces of nitrogen and sulfur may also be present The carbon content varies from type to type.
Lead is not a component of stainless steel.
Many stainless steels are stronger than mild steel. Stainless steel is also corrosion resistant to many different environments where mild steel is not.

its stainless It does not rust, hence the name stain less
iron
Many stainless steels are stronger. It's also more corrosion resistant.
There are a large number of varieties of stainless steel, many of which contain nothing that would normally be considered a gas, and the most significant component other than iron is usually chromium. You're probably thinking of nitrogen, which is a minor component (considerably less than 1%, compared to chromium which is often around 10-20%) in certain types of stainless steel.
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, 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...
