i need this for school and i need to know what are some advantages of stainless steel.
313 times as resistant to rust and corrosion as mild steel. 30% stronger and more durable than mild steel. 15% more conductive than mild steel. Easily wiped clean. Scratches can be easily polished out.
I would go for stainless steel cookware. There are some advantages of stainless steel cookware that make it so popular. *Durable: stainless steel is tough and can last for years and decades. It is not prone to chipping, rusting or even staining. It won’t dent and scratch easily as well. It is basically indestructible kind of cookware. it can also handle extreme temperatures. *Hard and non-porous. *Appearance: it will remain looking brand new for a long time and this is not because of its high maintenance. *Flavor preservation: stainless steel cookware is made in such a manner that none of the metals in the alloy will be tasted in the food cooked and neither will any of the material come in the food. *Recyclable: in an event where the cookware does get damaged, it can be recycled or salvaged. *Safe: while using stainless steel cookware, you need not be worried about any kind of metal poisoning.
It is great for knives because it stays chromed looking without rust. The steel is very hard so holds an edge for a long time. If it contains enough nickel it also is not magnetic, which some applications need this trait It is used for exhaust pipes in good cars, because it doesn't corrode from exhaust like common steel will, so the exhaust pipes last very long. Stainless is used for sinks, ovens, and kitchen appliances because it holds a shine, is very durable , doesn't crack or get burn holes like plastic would. It doesn't rust and is easy to clean and has a good color. It is used on exterior building panels for the same reason , plus it adds the same structural strength as regular steel without the maintenance of painting and rust removal. It is great for pans because you can scrub it without scraping it and it conducts heat well and cleans easily because the surface is smooth and hard So it has the same advantages of strength and fabrication as regular steel, without the downside of rust and ugliness. More cost (it contains chromium and nickel which are expensive) and harder to weld is two of it's shortcomings
