Question

Stainless steel contains iron & other metals along with the non-metal carbon. So is stainless steel a good or poor conductor of heat?

Answer 1

Dear student,
Silver is an excellent conductor of heat, while stainless steel is a poor conductor. In fact, silver is twice as good a conductor as aluminum, and nearly 10 times as good as a conductor as low-carbon steel. Copper and gold are the only metals that come close to silver in thermal conductivity.
