The addition of different metals and elements such as nickel, molybdenum, titanium, nitrogen, and copper in varying amounts alter the properties of this stainless steel. There are different grades of stainless steel on tap, which makes it applicable for varied purposes. One of the most valuable properties of stainless steel is its ability to resist corrosion. The chromium content results in forming a chromium oxide film on the steel surface when it faces exposure to oxygen which imparts its corrosion resistance qualities.
