Corrosion-resistant alloys are metals engineered to resist degradation by oxidation or other chemical reactions. The most common corrosion resistant metals, used for mild to moderate corrosion resistance, are stainless steels, often referred to as rust proof steel.
Corrosion-resistant steel is a type of steel that protects against corrosion, making it essentially rustproof. Stainless steels are iron-based alloys containing a minimum of 10.5% chromium, which is sufficient to prevent rust under typical room-temperature atmospheric conditions. These are some of the most widely used corrosion resistant metals in various industries.
