Question

Why do stainless steel utensils not rust?

Open in App
Solution

Stainless steel utensils are alloys of iron. Alloys are the mixture of either two or more same metallic solid solution or different metallic solid solution. When a metal is alloyed with other metal, its resistance towards corrosion increases. Stainless steel is one such alloy; hence, it does not rust.
