The material

What makes a steel stainless

Stainless steels are iron-based alloys containing at least 10.5% chromium. A thin, dense chromium oxide film forms on the surface, providing corrosion resistance and preventing further oxidation.

There are five types of stainless steel, which differ with their other alloying additions and range from fully austenitic to fully ferritic.
