Stainless steel is a steel-chromium alloy that is more resistant to corrosion than carbon-steel or other steel alloys. As with all steel, it strength depends on its grade; but overall the strength difference between carbon steel and stainless steel is negligible.

What is harder than stainless steel?
Many things are harder than stainless steel. Stainless steel can vary in hardness depending on the alloy and any treatment(s), but lots of carbon steels can be harder. Certainly diamond is harder as it is the hardest substance known to man.
Will copper scratch stainless steel?
It shouldn't as stainless is harder than copper.
Is 316 stainless steel pipe harder than A106 carbon steel pipe?
316 is softer than carbon steel
Is mild steel better than stainless steel?
Per the attached related link, the density (hence weight) of stainless is slightly more than the mild carbon steel. Using about 8.03/7.84 ratio of density, for the same volume of material the stainless will weigh 2.4 % more.
Are stainless steel ovens any better than non stainless steel?
No, an oven being stainless steel does not make it work better than a non stainless steel version.
What is the difference between stainless steel and regular steel?
steel isn't as refined but stainless is well stainless and shiny oohlala hot bod Stainless steel is an alloy (mixture) that has chromium mixed in. The chrome makes ordinary steel harder, more brittle, and more resistant to rust and stains, hense, stainless steel.
Is lead heavier than stainless steel?
Lead is much heavier than stainless steel.
Is a white range hood going to be harder to clean than steel?
No. Most stainless steel requires special care and cleaning over a white or black range.
Is steel stronger than aluminum?
It heavily depends on which type of stainless steel you're referring to and what your definition of strong is. High carbon and perhaps plain carbon steels would be harder then austenite and ferritic stainless, but martensitic stainless would be harder then plain/high carbon. Austenite and ferritic stainless would be tougher and austenite would have have highest degree of corrosion resistance. I consider a steel to be "strong" if it has a balance of hardness and toughness in which case,I would say martensitic stainless steels.
What metal is stronger stainless steel or metal?
Stainless steel or WHICH metal? BTW, there are numerous grades of stainless steel. Some are stronger than others.
Is aluminum more non corrosive than stainless steel?
No, stainless steel never corrodes.
Why is quartz harder than steel?
