What is Stainless Steel to Carbon ratio?
Stainless steel is a type of steel with a low carbon content. Typically, the carbon content of stainless steels is below 0.08%. This low carbon content helps stainless steels maintain their corrosion resistance properties. The low carbon prevents the formation of chromium carbides when steel comes into contact with chromium. Chromium carbides can affect the stainless steel's corrosion resistance and cause corrosion.
