Stainless steels are high-alloy steels. Stainless steels contain larger amounts of chromium in comparison with
other steels and thus have good corrosion resistance. Most of the stainless steels contain about 10% of
chromium.
Stainless steels are available in four groups that include martensitic, austenitic, ferritic and
precipitation-hardened steels. These groups are formed based on the crystalline structure of stainless steels.
