There are different grades and surface finishes of stainless steel to suit the environment the alloy must endure.

Unprotected carbon steel <a href=" title="Rust"><span style="color:#0B0080">rusts</span></a> readily when exposed to air and moisture. This <a href=" title="Iron oxide"><span style="color:#0B0080;text-decoration:none;text-underline:none">iron oxide</span></a> film (the rust) is active and accelerates corrosion by forming more iron oxide; and, because of the greater volume of the iron oxide, this tends to flake and fall away. Stainless steels contain sufficient chromium to form a <a href=" title="Passivation (chemistry)"><span style="color:#0B0080;text-decoration: none;text-underline:none">passive</span></a> film of <a href=" title="Chromium(III) oxide"><span style="color:#0B0080;text-decoration:none; text-underline:none">chromium oxide</span></a>, which prevents further surface corrosion by blocking oxygen diffusion to the steel surface and blocks corrosion from spreading into the metal's internal structure.  Passivation occurs only if the proportion of chromium is high enough and oxygen is present.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <div style="mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-bottom:solid #AAAAAA 1.0pt; mso-border-bottom-alt:solid #AAAAAA .5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0in 3pt; text-align: justify; border: none; padding: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Properties<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0in 3pt; text-align: justify; border: none; padding: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p> </div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0.05in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></b></p> <div style="mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-bottom:solid #AAAAAA 1.0pt; mso-border-bottom-alt:solid #AAAAAA .5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0in 3pt; text-align: justify; border: none; padding: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;color:red">Oxidation<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> </div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi">High oxidation resistance in <a href=" title="Earth's atmosphere"><span style="color:#0B0080;text-decoration:none; text-underline:none">air</span></a> at ambient <a href=" title="Temperature"><span style="color:#0B0080;text-decoration:none;text-underline:none">temperature</span></a> is normally achieved with additions of a minimum of 13% (by weight) <a href=" title="Chromium"><span style="color:#0B0080;text-decoration:none;text-underline:none">chromium</span></a>, and up to 26% is used for harsh environments. The chromium forms a Passivation layer of <a href=" title="Chromium(III) oxide"><span style="color:#0B0080;text-decoration:none; text-underline:none">chromium(III) oxide</span></a> (Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) when exposed to oxygen. The layer is too thin to be visible, and the metal remains lustrous and smooth. The layer is impervious to <a href=" title="Water"><span style="color:#0B0080; text-decoration:none;text-underline:none">water</span></a> and air, protecting the metal beneath, and this layer quickly reforms when the surface is scratched. This phenomenon is called <a href=" title="Passivation (chemistry)"><span style="color:#0B0080;text-decoration: none;text-underline:none">Passivation</span></a> and is seen in other metals, such as <a href=" title="Aluminium"><span style="color:#0B0080;text-decoration:none;text-underline: none">aluminium</span></a> and <a href=" title="Titanium"><span style="color:#0B0080;text-decoration:none;text-underline:none">titanium</span></a>.

When forcibly disassembled, the welded material may be torn and pitted, an effect known as <a href=" title="Galling"><span style="color:#0B0080;text-decoration:none;text-underline: none">galling</span></a>. This destructive galling can be avoided by the use of dissimilar materials for the parts forced together, for example bronze and stainless steel, or even different types of stainless steels (martensitic against austenitic). However, two different alloys electrically connected in a humid environment may act as a <a href=" title="Voltaic pile"><span style="color:#0B0080;text-decoration:none;text-underline:none">voltaic pile</span></a> and corrode faster. Nitronic alloys made by selective alloying with manganese and nitrogen may have a reduced tendency to gall. Additionally, threaded joints may be <a href=" title="Lubrication"><span style="color:#0B0080;text-decoration:none;text-underline:none">lubricated</span></a> to prevent galling. Low-temperature <a href=" title="Carburizing"><span style="color:#0B0080;text-decoration:none;text-underline:none">carburizing</span></a> is another option that virtually eliminates galling and allows the use of similar materials without the risk of corrosion and the need for lubrication.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <div style="mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-bottom:solid #AAAAAA 1.0pt; mso-border-bottom-alt:solid #AAAAAA .5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0in 3pt; text-align: justify; border: none; padding: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;color:red">Acids<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> </div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi">Stainless steel is generally highly resistant to attack from <a href=" title="Acids"><span style="color:#0B0080; text-decoration:none;text-underline:none">acids</span></a>, but this quality depends on the kind and concentration of the acid, the surrounding temperature, and the type of steel.
