About this document

Comprehensive Guide to Stainless Steel by Harshita Dabas is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Stainless steel is an alloy of iron and chromium, with at least 12% chromium, that resists corrosion. It exists in ferritic, martensitic, and austenitic forms depending on its crystal structure. Austenitic stainless steel is preferred for dentistry due to its ductility, strength from cold working, ease of welding and forming, and reasonable cost. Stainless steel has good mechanical properties like strength and elasticity making it useful for dental and medical applications.
