Stainless Steel (SS)

Stainless Steel (SS) is a type of steel alloy that contains a minimum of 10.5% chromium, which creates a thin layer of oxide on the surface, known as the passive layer, that prevents corrosion and rusting. Stainless steel is prized for its resistance to corrosion, staining, and rust, making it ideal for a wide range of applications where hygiene, durability, and aesthetics are important.

In various industries such as construction, automotive, aerospace, and food processing, “SS” is commonly used as an abbreviation to denote stainless steel in technical specifications, product labeling, or manufacturing processes. It’s favored for its strength, versatility, and ability to maintain its appearance over time, even in harsh environments.
