material compostitions and types of SS material

Question

Accepted Answer

Stainless steel (SS) is a group of corrosion-resistant alloys. Common types include austenitic, ferritic, and martensitic.

SS is composed of iron, carbon, and varying levels of other elements such as chromium, nickel, and molybdenum.
Austenitic SS is the most common type and is non-magnetic with high corrosion resistance.
Ferritic SS is magnetic and has lower corrosion resistance than austenitic SS.
Martensitic SS is magnetic and has high strength but lower corrosion resistance than austenitic SS.
Other types of SS include duplex, precipitation hardening, and super austenitic.
SS is commonly used in industries such as food processing, chemical processing, and medical equipment.
