That depends on the type of stainless; it will vary betwen 65-80% iron
Steel is an alloy of carbon and iron. If the percentage of carbon is more than 2% then it is called cast iron.
Steel and stainless steel tend to weigh around the same, however, stainless steel can sometimes be a bit lighter.
Stainless Steel 316, a type of stainless steel
stainless steel
The main ingredient is carbon. Carbon is what makes iron into steel. Other chemicals are added, like chromium, which makes stainless steel. Different amounts of carbon can change the properties. Adding a lot of carbon makes high-carbon steel, which is hard and flexible, used to make knife blades and (lower quality) springs. Adding molybdenum (and chrome, I think) makes chromoly steel, very flexible and strong steel often used in the racing industry.The element chromium, itself another metal, is added to steel (which is iron with a bit of carbon) to make stainless steel alloys.Also added: vanadium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, wolfram, etc.Chromium and nickel are added to the iron to make stainless steel.it will be process in heating room
carbon steel is iron with "structured" carbon which make iron strong (hard). stainless steel is steel with different percentage contain of aluminium, nickel, chrome... which give the steel different kind of other characteristics including "stainless- the ability of not getting rusted."
Stainless steel is stronger and retards rust unlike iron
18-8 stainless steel, also known as 304 stainless steel, is composed of 18 chromium and 8 nickel, with the remaining percentage made up of iron and other trace elements.
Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, nickel, chromium and other materials. Alloys are represented by the percentage of each constituent metal. There are many different 'recipes' for stainless steel so you cannot make a blanket statement.
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.
18-10 stainless steel is composed of 18 chromium and 10 nickel, with the remaining percentage made up of iron and other trace elements.
18/8 stainless steel is composed of 18 chromium and 8 nickel, with the remaining percentage made up of iron and other trace elements.

Good quality stainless steel should never rust. I have noticed that the high iron content in our water causes red particles of iron oxide to remain on stainless steel vessels - and it looks exactly like rust but its just the iron in the water drying out on the stainless steel.
Chrome is used with iron to create stainless steel alloys.
No, stainless steel is not a non-ferrous metal. It is an alloy made of iron, chromium, nickel, and other elements. Stainless steel contains a significant amount of iron, which is a ferrous metal.
Stainless Steel; all other choices are elements - stainless steel is a steel alloy (composite elements).
