Inox (chemical composition)

Inox, commonly known as stainless steel, is an alloy primarily made of iron and carbon. It also contains significant amounts of Chromium (usually around 10-20%), which makes it resistant to rust and corrosion by forming a protective oxide layer on its surface. Additional elements like Nickel, Molybdenum, and others are sometimes included to enhance strength, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. The precise composition varies depending on the type of stainless steel, but the key feature is this combination of metals that results in a durable, corrosion-resistant material widely used in construction, appliances, and medical equipment.
