Stainless Steel Properties - How to weld them - Where to use Them - Stainless steels are defined as iron base alloys which contain at least 10.5% chromium. The thin but dense chromium oxide film which forms on the surface of a stainless steel provides corrosion resistance and prevents further oxidation. There are five types of stainless steels depending on the other alloying additions present, and they range from fully austenitic to fully ferritic.

Technical Handbook of Stainless Steels Grades & Families of Stainless Steels, Corrosion Resistance, Fabrication of Stainless Steels, Guidelines for Grade Selection... - This Technical Handbook has been produced as an aid to all personnel of Atlas Specialty Metals, their customers and the engineering community generally. It is intended to be both background reading for technical seminars conducted by Atlas Specialty Metals Technical Services Department, and also as a source of ongoing reference data. Materials can be divided into metals and non-metals; the history of civilisation has largely been categorised by the ability to work metals - hence "bronze age" and "iron age" - but until quite recently most large-scale construction was still in non-metals, mostly stone or masonry and wood. Today a vast number of materials compete for their share of the market, with more new materials being added every year.

Stainless Steels An introduction to Stainless Steel from the University of Cambridge

Duplex Stainless Steel - Austenitic-ferritic also referred to as duplex stainless steels, combine many of the beneficial properties of ferritic and austenitic steels. Due to their high content of chromium and nitrogen, and often also molybdenum, these steels offer good resistance to local and uniform corrosion. The duplex microstructure contributes to their high strength and high resistance to stress corrosion cracking. Duplex steels also have good weldability.

Stainless Steel – Corrosion Resistance Corrosion resistance of Stainless Steel - Corrosion can be defined as the attack of a metallic material by its environment. Stainless steels all possess a high resistance to corrosion. This resistance is conferred by the naturally occurring chromium - rich oxide film which is always present on the surface of stainless steel. Although less than 130 Angstrom thick (1 Angstrom unit = 10-8 cm) this invisible film is extremely protective as it is inert and adheres tightly to the metal. The more highly alloyed grades of stainless steel possess the best corrosion resistance and are able to withstand more aggressive environments. Selection of the correct grade of stainless steel is the key to avoidance of corrosion problems
