Stainless steel is characterised by a portion of at least 10.5 % chrome, which must be loosened in the austenitic or ferritic mixed crystal.

The effect is based on the fact that by this high chrome portion a protecting and close passive layer made of Chromoxid is formed at the material surface. Further alloys like in particular nickel and molybdenum lead to an even better corrosion resistance or more favorable mechanical characteristics. Since chrome is generally cheaper than nickel, a higher chrome proportion is favored over the increase of the nickel content (subject to same corrosion resistance).
