Stainless (stainless steel or inox), is composed of an alloy of iron and carbon, to which is added chromium (with a minimum concentration of 10.5%). It is this last element that forms a protective layer of chromium oxide, thus resulting in its stainless feature. Depending on their composition, these steels do not all behave the same in a given environment.
