Stainless
steel is a member of family of steels containing a minimum of 11%
chromium. It is an alloy of iron and chromium with controlled amount of
carbon. The higher the chromium content, the stronger the steel
becomes.

When exposed, the oxygen in the environment binds to the chromium of the steel. The
chromium-containing oxide also called the passive film gives the steel
product a staining and corrosive resistance. However, in areas having
low levels of oxygen, binding of oxygen to chromium lessens and
lessens the ability of the protection these two atoms create making
the steel vulnerable.

Lesser
oxygen content in the environment where the steel is being applied
causes the product to perform less because oxygen is a vital
component in the passive film's composition and protection of the
product as a whole.
Metallurgist
Harry Brearly accidentally discovered that adding chromium to low
carbon steel gave its resistance to staining. Along with nickel,
niobium, molybdenum, and chromium enhance the passive film and the weldability, formability and toughness of stainless steel.

stainless steel.
This
is what makes our stainless steel strong and desirable for
application specially for kitchen fixtures. Aside from its desirable
strength, it projects a seamless, elegant and modern appearance.
