Stainless steel is a type of metal that is highly resistant to rust, but it is not completely rust-free. Stainless steel contains a minimum of 10.5% chromium, which forms a thin, passive oxide layer on the surface of the metal. This layer protects the underlying steel from corrosion and rusting by preventing oxygen and moisture from coming into contact with the metal.

However, if the passive oxide layer is damaged or compromised, the underlying steel can be exposed to oxygen and moisture, which can cause rust to form. Additionally, some types of stainless steel are more resistant to rust than others, depending on their specific composition and the environment in which they are used.

 In general, stainless steel is a highly corrosion-resistant material and is often used in applications where rust and corrosion are a concern, such as in marine environments, food processing equipment, and medical devices.
