Morgan Dundu, in Construction and Building Materials, 2018. Abstract. Stainless steel is a family of steel alloys with a minimum of approximately 10.5% mass of chromium. Unlike carbon steel, it has high corrosion and heat resistant properties. Stainless steel does not easily corrode because it forms an invisible thin passive film of about 5 × 10 −6 mm of chromium oxide (Cr 2 O 3), …
