With the development of society, no matter what goods are emerging in endlessly, the types of stainless steel on the market are also various. The following is the relationship between the main chemical components and the properties of stainless steel for you, so that you can better choose stainless steel when you need it.

1, Carbon(C): Increase hardness and strength while high content will reduce its ductility and corrosion resistance

2, Chromium(Cr): Increase corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, refine the grain, increase strength, hardness and wear resistance

3, Nickel(Ni): Increase high temperature strength, corrosion resistance, reduce the rate of cold work hardening

4, Mo: Increased strength, excellent corrosion resistance to oxides and seawater

5, Copper(Cu): Conducive to cold processing and forming, reducing magnetism
