The Magic Behind Stainless Steel
Have you ever struggled with a rusty grill, with bits of old fun meals chipping off? Or been sad when your kitchen tools quickly lose their shine after washing them? We understand. Everyone wants things that last, that can handle everyday use and still look great. But have you ever thought about the quiet champion behind many strong and attractive items, from your reliable grill to stylish kitchen tools? That champion is stainless steel, and its story is more interesting than you might think. Join us as we discover the secrets of this amazing material and why it's so important to everything we make at Stainless Living Products.
The Magic Behind Stainless Steel
So, what's the "trick" that makes stainless steel, well, stainless? It's all about a cool mix of science and air. The main player here is chromium. Imagine chromium as small, hard-working protectors inside the steel. When stainless steel meets oxygen (which is everywhere!), the chromium joins with it to create a very thin, unseen shield on the surface. The chromium oxide surface acts as a very strong barrier. If the surface is scratched or harmed, this layer can fix itself when oxygen is present. It's similar to a tiny, self-repairing shield that keeps your braai grid safe from tough weather conditions.
Or consider how this self-repairing quality helps your stainless steel kitchen tools stay smooth and clean for a long time.
This natural, self-renewing corrosion resistance is the very essence of what makes stainless steel so incredibly durable and long-lasting – a quality we deeply value in all our Stainless Living Products.
The Perfect Partnership of Metals
Chromium is the main protector, but it needs help. Stainless steel is a mix of metals, mostly iron. Adding chromium, usually at least 10.5%, gives it rust protection. Nickel is often added too. It makes the steel stronger and last longer. It also makes it shiny, like on stainless steel kitchen tools and decorations. These metals work together to make a strong material that can handle daily use.

Think about our strong stainless steel braai grids, which can handle heat because of this mix. At Stainless Living Products, we use stainless steel to make long-lasting items for your life.
