Stainless steel’s most notable attribute is its ability to resist corrosive attack. Like aluminium it is a relatively new material but it has found many applications. It is a basic alloy of steel that contains chromium but other alloying elements are added to provide specific attributes. Stainless steel finds many applications where a hard material is required that will resist corrosive attack. The basics It is the addition of a minimum of 11% of chromium that gives stainless steel its ability to withstand corrosive attack. Chromium has the effect of creating a naturally protective oxide film on the surface of the metal – a film that ‘self-heals’ almost directly after removal of the metal surface. This is very similar to the action found in aluminium, which makes it such an atmospheric resistant metal.303 stainless is a very free machining stainless steel much used for model making.
