RVS stands for “roest vast staal” in Dutch, which translates to “rust-resistant steel” in English. However, in colloquial language, it is often called “roestvrij staal,” which means “rust-free steel.” In reality, even RVS can corrode in extreme cases.
The most important alloying element in stainless steel is chromium (Cr), which offers excellent protection against corrosion. By adding different alloys, unique properties can be created for each grade of stainless steel, depending on the intended application. For example, it may need to be heat-resistant, acid-resistant, exposed to steam, or wear-resistant.
Stainless steel grades are generally classified based on their structure at room temperature:
