Stainless steels are alloys of iron, chromium, and other elements that resist corrosion from many environments.

Subject and UNIT: Engineering Materials and Metallurgy: Unit III: Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals

In general, alloying elements are added to steel in small percentages-usually less than 5 percent-to improve strength or hardenability.

High alloy steels are steels which contain more than 5% of one or more alloying elements.

Characteristics, Types

Subject and UNIT: Engineering Materials and Metallurgy: Unit III: Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals

Low alloy steels are steels which contain upto 3 to 4% of one or more alloying elements.
