What is the Anodic index of stainless steel?

In: Chemistry [Edit categories]

Answer:

There is not a straight forward answer. There are many grades and variants of Stainless steel. The highest contributor to the Anodic index of stainless steel is the amount of Chromium in the different grades. Taking this into consideration, High Chromium content Stainless Steel would have an Anodic index of around 0.50, whiles the lowest grade stainless steel variants would have an Anodic index of around 0.85.

Why is stainless steel stainless?
It is the incorporation of a good bit of chromium that makes steel into stainless steel. The presence of chromium in steel alloys allows them to resist chemical attack better than "regular" steels.
What makes stainless steel stainless?
Which is harder steel or stainless steel?
Stainless steel is steel. Assuming that you mean high carbon steel, and martensitic stainless and proper heat treatment, most of the martensitic steels would be harder with some exceptions.
Can you weld steel to stainless steel?
Yep, you can weld steel to stainless and you can weld stainless to steel. You can use steel or stainless welding rod in either case but the steel or steel welding rod will of course rust.
