  2. Intergranular corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intergranular_corrosion

    Stainless steels can be stabilized against this behavior by addition of titanium, niobium, or tantalum, which form titanium carbide, niobium carbide and tantalum carbide preferentially to chromium carbide, by lowering the content of carbon in the steel and in case of welding also in the filler metal under 0.02%, or by heating the entire part ...

  3. Harry Brearley - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Brearley

    He began to examine the addition of chromium to steel, which was known to raise the material's melting point, as compared to the standard carbon steels. The research concentrated on quantifying the effects of varying the levels of carbon (C, at concentrations around 0.2 weight %) and chromium (Cr, in the range of 6 to 15 weight %).

  4. Ferrochrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrochrome

    Over 80% of the world's ferrochrome is utilised in the production of stainless steel. In 2006, 28,000,000 tons of stainless steel were produced. [3] [4] Stainless steel depends on chromium for its appearance and resistance to corrosion. Average chrome content in stainless steel is approx. 18%. It is also used to add chromium to carbon steel ...

  5. Stainless steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stainless_steel

    Stainless steel, also known as inox, corrosion-resistant steel (CRES), and rustless steel, is an iron-based alloy containing a minimum level of chromium that is resistant to rusting and corrosion. Stainless steel's resistance to corrosion results from the 10.5%, or more, chromium content which forms a passive film that can protect the material ...

  6. Decarburization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decarburization

    Electrical steel is one material that uses decarburization in its production. To prevent the atmospheric gases from reacting with the metal itself, electrical steel is annealed in an atmosphere of nitrogen, hydrogen, and water vapor, where oxidation of the iron is specifically prevented by the proportions of hydrogen and water vapor so that the only reacting substance is carbon being oxidized ...

  7. SAE 304 stainless steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_304_stainless_steel

    It is an alloy of iron, carbon, chromium and nickel. It is an austenitic stainless steel, and is therefore not magnetic. It is less electrically and thermally conductive than carbon steel. It has a higher corrosion resistance than regular steel and is widely used because of the ease in which it is formed into various shapes. [1]

  8. Chromium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium

    A major development in steel production was the discovery that steel could be made highly resistant to corrosion and discoloration by adding metallic chromium to form stainless steel. Stainless steel and chrome plating (electroplating with chromium) together comprise 85% of the commercial use.

  9. Microsoft Edge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Edge

    Microsoft Edge (or simply nicknamed Edge), based on the Chromium open-source project, also known as The New Microsoft Edge or New Edge, is a proprietary cross-platform web browser created by Microsoft, superseding Edge Legacy. [8] [9] [10] In Windows 11, Edge is the only browser available from Microsoft. First made available only for Android ...
