"Stainless steel is an iron-based metal which contains very low carbon levels (compared to mild steel) and various levels of chromium. Chromium combines with oxygen to form an adherent surface film that resists oxidation."

"There are over 100 kinds of stainless steel, but only five are generally popular. Each type varies in hardness and strength and in corrosion and heat resistance. Type 304 stainless is by far the most popular. It is basically composed of 18% chromium and 8% nickel (sometimes referred to as "18-8"). Variations of the 18-8, 300 series of stainless steel include types #302, 304L and type #305. The 18-8 stainless steel family represents an excellent combination of corrosion resistance, fabricability, and value, accounting for one half of all U.S. steel production."
