Stainless steel is defined as an iron-carbon alloy with a minimum of 10.5% chromium content. The name originates from the fact that stainless steel does not stain, corrode or rust as easily as untreated mild steel.
Mild steel is hard wearing and cost effective. Prior to finishing all steel is shotblasted and can be supplied primed only, electro zinc plated and powder coated or hot dipped galvanised.
