Stainless steel (Fe–Cr–Ni (±Mo, N, C)) is a family of grades whose density ~8.0 g/cm³, heat band ~1400–1450 °C, and fire letter A1 metal. Stainless steel is sold as grades, not as a single substance. Chemistry Fe–Cr–Ni (±Mo, N, C), density ~8.0 g/cm³, heat band ~1400–1450 °C. This atlas treats Stainless steel as a system: mill route, coatings, tests and the cavity it sits in.
