Basic Knowledge of Stainless Steel: Why is Stainless Steel Resistant to Rust?
We will also introduce examples of surface corrosion forms of stainless steel (such as pitting and stress corrosion cracking)!
The document "Basic Knowledge of Stainless Steel" explains the reasons why stainless steel is resistant to rust. It describes surface-treated steel plates, such as those that are plated or painted, and stainless steel, which generates a corrosion-resistant film on its surface by adding more than 10.5% chromium to iron. The passive film of stainless steel has a self-repairing function, as it reacts with surrounding oxygen and regenerates even if it is damaged.
