I keep hearing the phrase ‘stainless steel’ and I’m still not sure why it’s such a selling point compared to regular steel. Is it just for aesthetic purposes?
In: Technology
Typical stainless steel is “18/8”, which means 18% Chromium and 8% Nickel.
It’s more expensive and harder to work than normal “mild steel”, so you won’t see car bodies made of the stuff, but it is highly resistant to corrosion, so it has a lot of applications.
