What is the composition of Stainless Steel?
i have 2 sources and one says that its composition is 10.5% chromium and other metals, another says 18% chromium and 8% nickel and other metals which one is it? :S thanx

I'm pretty sure it depends on the grade of stainless steel....more chromium = more resistant to rust i think....i know there are varying compositions

 

[undalay]

there is no set ratio.

another reason alloys aren't considered compounds.
