Nowadays, stainless steel is used in almost all branches of industry, architecture and design.

General information about stainless steel

The main thing about stainless steel (an iron alloy with at least 10.5% chromium) is its anti-corrosion properties, which arise as a result of the formation of a layer of chromium oxide on the surface of the metal.

The appearance of rust on stainless steel products baffles many people. If this material is called "stainless steel", then why can stainless steel oxidize, darken, blacken and rust? In fact, if the production technology is violated or the operating rules are violated, rust can appear even on high-quality stainless steel.
