Stainless steel, often known as inox steel or inox from the French "inoxydable," is a steel alloy that must contain at least 10.5% to 11% chromium by mass. Despite the name, stainless steel is not completely stain-proof, especially in low oxygen, high salinity, or poor circulation situations. Stainless steel does not readily corrode, rust, or stain with water as easily as conventional steel does. When the alloy type and grade are not specified, particularly in the aviation industry, it is commonly referred to as corrosion-resistant steel, or CRES. Stainless steel comes in a variety of grades and surface treatments depending on the climate it must withstand. When steel's characteristics and corrosion resistance are needed, stainless steel is employed.

Type 430 is known for good corrosion, heat, oxidation resistance, and its decorative nature.It is important to note that when well polished or buffed its corrosion resistance increases. All welding must occur at higher temperatures, but it is easily machined, bent, and formed. Thanks to this combination it is used in a number of different commercial and industrial applications including:Furnace combustion chambers,Automotive trim and molding,Gutters and downspouts,Nitric acid plant equipment,Oil and Gas refinery equipment,Restaurant equipment,Dishwasher linings,Element supports and fasteners.etc.
