Q: What are the benefits of stainless steel?

Stainless steel is one of the most popular and well recognized metals these days, known for its decorative appeal and used by many industries for its resistance to corrosion and staining along with its low maintenance. Unlike regular Steel, Stainless Steel does not readily corrode with water but there are different grades and surface finishes depending on the environment the alloy must endure. When the properties of steel are required, but the need for corrosion resistance as well, Stainless is often the answer.
