What is stainless steel? Created by the addition of at least 10.5% Chromium (Cr) and Iron (Fe), stainless steel is extremely resistant to corrosion, making it the perfect choice for harsh environments. Characteristics of Fe-based powder (Stainless Steel): Fe-based alloy powder is a material composed mainly of Iron and some other alloys. Fe-based powder is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance and durability.
