With the addition of 11% or more chromium to steel, the alloy becomes non-staining under most conditions that corrode plain steel, thus the tern stainless is applied.
Non-Magentic Alloys
Alloys containing chromium and nickel are not magnetic in the annealed condition although they become slightly magnetic when cold worked.

Nickel is noted for its corrosion resistance, good elecrical conductivity and high heat-transfer properties. Wire mesh woven of nickel is used in pure food and drug processing among several other applications although nickel wire cloth is replaced frequently with stainless steel.
