Stainless steel is most likely the answer you are looking for, as it is arguably the most common material, but not the only one, fitting this.

Why are kitchen gas burners coated with chromium?
we often find a chromium plating on kitchen gas burners which not only provides a shiny appearance but also helps to avoid corrosion and effects of 'wear and tear' and scratches. some coatings help to increase the strength of the base metal.
How do you stop external corrosion on copper pipes?
Copper is very corrosion resistant - it does produce a very attractive green patina e.g on the roofs of mosques. To eliminate it entirely - constantly paint it - or use Impressed Current Cathodic Protection. I would not bother
Is Chromium a pure substance?
chromium can be pure or it can be in its natural state
Is 303 stainless steel ferrous or non-ferrous?
303 Stainless is a ferrous metal it is steel that contains nickel and chromium. It is not magnetic-but it is still ferrous!
Chromium forms two bromides one that is 17.82percent chromium by mass and another that is 24.55 percent chromium. In the first sample the mass of chromium per 1 gram of bromide?
Chromium form three (not only two) bromides: * CrBr2, containing 24,759 85 % chromium * CrBr3, containing 17,991 45 % chromium * CrBr4, containing 14,129 09 % chromium 1 gram of CrBr3 contain 179,91 45 mg chromium.
What is the difference between steel and staniless steel?
Stainless steel contains a minimal of 13% chromium and is much more corrosion resistant.
Why does chromium in stainless steels make them more corrosion resistant in many environments than plain carbon steels?
Chromium forms a tough, adherent ,extremely corrosion resistant, oxide - chromium oxide on the surface. It is the chromium oxide that is extremely corrosion resistant. It also adheres extremely well. Iron oxide - rust does not adhere well - all to do with the Pilling-Bedworth ratio. It is also why Aluminum is very corrosion resistant. It forms a thin adherent layer of aluminum oxide on the surface.
Why is chromium plated over another metal?
Chromium is plated over another metal to make it resistant to rust or corrosion.
What is the primary element that is added to make stainless steels stainless or corrosion-resistant?
Chromium
Metallic element used as a corrosion resistant coating?
Tin.
Why are alloys more resistant to corrosion than pure metals?
They are not always. Pure metals like gold never rust. Aluminum is also very corrosion resistant and its alloys not necessarily more so. Chromium is another metal that is extremely corrosion resistant and is alloyed with Iron and carbon to make a type of stainless steel.
Is chromium added to steel to make stainless steel?
a varying amount. stainless steel can be a variety of formulations. In general the more corrosion resistant the steel is the higher the chromium content.
What element is resistant to corrosion in seawater?
Titanium and zirconium, for example, are resistant to corrosion in seawater.
What are some uses for chromium?
Chromium, a blue white metal is put to use for industrial purposes. It is used in tanning leather, harden steel and also to produce stainless steel. Sometimes they are also used catalysts and corrosion-resistant materials.
Is 304 stainless steel always food safe?
A stainless steel corrosion resistant variety contains more than 10% chromium along with possible other alloying elements. Corrosion attacks in stainless steel are resisted by weak mineral and acids and it is able to keep its strength at high temperatures. The most common grades are 304, 316, and 409.
Why is ferrous alloy has more corrosion resistant then iron?
An alloy is a mixture of metals and a ferrous alloy is an alloy who's main constituent is iron. Iron in itself is extremely susceptible to corrosion, however, with the addition of other metals to create a ferrous alloy, such as the addition of slag (Such as in wrought iron), Nickel (Alnico, Invar, etc), Maganese (Bismanthol), Chromium (Kanthal), Titanium (Ferrotitanium) and so on give the alloy it's corrosion resistance. So, in short, almost, if not all ferrous alloys contain a constituent that is corrosion resistant, hence why ferrous alloys are more resistant to corrosion that straight iron.
What is Carbon steel and stainless steel?
Carbon steel is an iron alloy with less than 2% carbon, no chromium, and contains copper and magnesium not more than 0.6% Stainless steel is an iron alloy with less than 2% carbon and it contains chromium and it's resistive to corrosion
