Add properties to the alloy steel

I want to know if it is possible to make regular steel "stainless". From what I understand stainless consist of chromium about 10 percent I think. Any way I'm wondering if properties can be added in a process or can this only be possible during actual manufacturing of the steel. And I'm not talking about chrome like stainless steel that's not to shiny.
I was figuring that ghost rider so you really can't add properties to the alloy steel. But I assume if some somehow there can be a conducting process like how people dip it to chrome.im not sure


Best answer:
Answer by Ghost Rider
no an alloy essentiallly does not exibit its constituent properties
if you want to add anymore the thing should be molten and hot and homogenous homogenous being the key word
and no ss essentiallly mean that thing only

DOES HYPO ALLERGENIC STAINLESS STEEL CONTAIN NICKEL?

Question by Tammy: DOES HYPO ALLERGENIC STAINLESS STEEL CONTAIN NICKEL?



Best answer:
Answer by Lightning
Stainless steel is a combination of Iron, carbon and Chromium.
Nickel is not usually part of its composition. Nickel Allergies are common.
If the product is hypoallergenic I'm sure Nickel would not be part of its composition.

Edit:
Thank you for the Correction Kalos. i wasn'rt aware that Nickel is usually in stainless steel. I am now.

Contrary to what you state Hypo-allergenic is a MARKETING term. You'll find it in advertising and marketing for all kinds of products both mainstreem and Altmed.
I see engineering and Chemistry may be the forte of this blogger. May i suggest he bloggs there rather than altmed.

What are things made of nickel?

Question by AZAllDay: what are things made of nickel?
I need things that are made of the element nickel that I can get my hands on, so don't list a German coin or something

Answer by We Walk Aløne
The US Nickel (5¢) still contain small amounts of nickle. There was a time when they were almost entirely composed of nickle.
Nickel is a chemical element with the chemical symbol Ni and atomic number 28. It is a silvery-white lustrous metal with a slight golden tinge. Nickel belongs to the transition metals and is hard and ductile. Pure nickel shows a significant chemical activity that can be observed when nickel is powdered to maximize the exposed surface area on which reactions can occur, but larger pieces of the metal are slow to react with air at ambient conditions due to the formation of a protective oxide surface.


Even then, nickel is reactive enough with oxygen that native nickel is rarely found on Earth's surface, being mostly confined to the interiors of larger nickel–iron meteorites that were protected from oxidation during their time in space. On Earth, such native nickel is always found in combination with iron, a reflection of those elements' origin as major end products of supernova nucleosynthesis. An iron–nickel mixture is thought to compose Earth's inner core.


The use of nickel (as a natural meteoric nickel–iron alloy) has been traced as far back as 3500 BC. Nickel was first isolated and classified as a chemical element in 1751 by Axel Fredrik Cronstedt, who initially mistook its ore for a copper mineral. The element's name comes from a mischievous sprite of German miner mythology, Nickel (similar to Old Nick), that personified the fact that copper-nickel ores resisted refinement into copper. An economically important source of nickel is the iron ore limonite, which often contains 1-2% nickel. Nickel's other important ore minerals include garnierite, and pentlandite. Major production sites include the Sudbury region in Canada (which is thought to be of meteoric origin), New Caledonia in the Pacific, and Norilsk in Russia.

Because of nickel's slow rate of oxidation at room temperature, it is considered corrosion-resistant. Historically, this has led to its use: i) for plating metals such as iron and brass ii) in chemical apparatus and iii) in certain alloys that retain a high silvery polish, such as German silver. About 6% of world nickel production is still used for corrosion-resistant pure-nickel plating. Nickel was once a common component of coins, but has largely been replaced by cheaper iron for this purpose, especially since the metal is a skin allergen for some people. It was reintroduced into UK coins in 2012 despite objections from dermatologists.

Nickel is one of four elements that are ferromagnetic around room temperature. Alnico permanent magnets based partly on nickel are of intermediate strength between iron-based permanent magnets and rare-earth magnets. The metal is chiefly valuable in the modern world for the alloys it forms; about 60% of world production is used in nickel-steels (particularly stainless steel). Other common alloys, as well as some new superalloys, make up most of the remainder of world nickel use, with chemical uses for nickel compounds consuming less than 3% of production.[5] As a compound, nickel has a number of niche chemical manufacturing uses, such as a catalyst for hydrogenation. Enzymes of some microorganisms and plants contain nickel as an active site, which makes the metal an essential nutrient for them.

Answer by shreeya_ekta
Nickel is a metallic element, making up 0.008% of the Earth's crust. However, when the deeper core of the Earth is included, nickel becomes more abundant, and is the fifth most common element after iron, oxygen, silicon and magnesium.

'The Magic of Nickel'
This presentation is intended to explain to you the role of nickel in stainless steels and the factors that you should take into account when you are considering the use of a stainless steel.

By Dr. David Jenkinson
Nickel Institute Director, Australasia
Based on a paper "The Effective Use of Nickel in Stainless Steels", which was presented at Nickel China 2005

End Use
Nickel is used in thousands of applications in virtually every industry:




First Use
Nickel is a key component of many different materials that are used by society in many different industries to manufacture a wide range of end-use products. By first use, all the 'new' nickel that is produced each year is apportioned as follows:
