What are Stainless Steel Fasteners? Its Advantages and Applications
The most basic description of stainless steel is that it is a steel alloy formed by combining a regular low-carbon alloy steel, which has a "low" quantity of carbon, on the order of 0.3% to 0.5%. This standard low-alloy steel has at least 10% chromium as an alloy component. The Chromium alloying element does all the heavy work in providing corrosion resistance and is the fundamental component distinguishing stainless steel.
