diffeence between steel & stainless steel?

Chromium has been added, so it is less likely to rust (thus "stainless")

Sorry I don't know any specific sites, but maybe I can give you a little more info to help you find info?\n\nUsually people use alloys because they have better properties than any of the metals it is made out of.  For example:\nstainless steel is iron with chromium in it.  It doesn't tarnish, rust or anything like that.\nbrass is copper and zinc

Yes - stainless steel can corrode. 'Stainless' was the name given to stainless steel back when it was invented in the 1920's to differentiate it from ordinary or 'mild' steel. However, it is really more accurate to call it 'stain-resistant' steel. Normal steel corrodes very quickly, and the additives in stainless steel give a lot of protection.\n\nStainless steel can be damaged if exposed to the following corrosive substances. Salt - whether added to foods, to the water-softener in a dishwasher, or even the mineral salts naturally present in water. Acids, including food acids. Detergents can also be corrosive to the surface of stainless steel when left in contact for extended periods.

Go to azom.com they have info on both 304, 316 and many other metals.\n\nIn a nut shell, 316 stainless steels are more corrosion resistant than 304 stainless steels

more likely iron then steel

The more surface area is open to the air, or oxygen, the faster it rusts.  That's why a sheet, which is pretty much totally exposed, will rust fast, but not thick parts like the engine, etc.  Rust, after all, is the product of Iron mixing with Oxygen.  Also, steel is a mixture, more specifically a metal alloy, of iron with carbon.  Alloys with higher carbon content than this are known as cast iron.  Therefore, cast iron rusts slower than sheet metal also because it contains a lot of carbon, rather than being all iron.  I don't know what is better for the garden, but "cast iron" is actually steel, with high amounts of carbon in it.

Hi. As with most things it depends on the cost of manufacture. : http://www.steelonthenet.com/commodity_prices.html

Steel is made in a mill.  It is an alloy of iron and some other element (which element varies).

I don't know what you plan on using this information for but I'm sure it it very similar to other steels. For many calculations small errors in the number have little or no practical effect on the answer.\n\nMy heat transfer book gives the following values:\n\nMild steel 36 Btu/(hr)(sqft)(degF/ft) @ 32 degs F\nMild steel 33 Btu/(hr)(sqft)(degF/ft) @ 212 degs F\n\n1% Carbon steel 26.2 Btu/(hr)(sqft)(degF/ft) @ 32 degs F\n1% Carbon steel 25.9 Btu/(hr)(sqft)(degF/ft) @ 212 degs F

No there is no difference in grinding machine, though the clamping system may be different as carbon steel is held commonly by magnetic chucks/clamps while for  some non magnetic grades of stainless steel( Austentitic stainless steels) mechanical/hydraulic/alternate clamping may be required.

they would be almost the same weight, however mild steel should be slightly heavyer

it typically depends on the carbon content of the steel...here is a link for the phase transformation diagram \n\nhttp://www.metalpass.com/metaldoc/general/phasecast_files/image001.jpg\n\nMaterial  Steel  \n  Steel is an alloy of iron and maximum 2.1% carbon. The strength increases with the contents of carbon. Low-carbon steel (less than 0.3 % carbon) is generally used for common industrial products such as nuts, sheets and tubes. \n\nMedium carbon steel (0.3 to 0.6 % carbon) is stronger than low carbon steel and used for automotive and machinery applications. \n\nHigh carbon steel (more than 0.6 % carbon), is strong, hard, and wear resistant and is used for cutting tools, springs and cutlery.  \n\nChemical symbol for iron (the dominant part of steel) is Fe, atomic number is 26, melting point is 1528 C, density 7.9.\nChemical symbol for carbon is C, atomic number is 6, density 2.3 (graphite).

Virtually all steels are quite weldable.  Those alloys with high percentages of certain metals like chromium must be welded in an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation of the alloying metals.

Classic stainless steel is 74% Iron, 18% Chromium, and 8% Nickel.

Depends upon what kind of heat-treatment was given to the steel

Are you talking about steel? If so, each one has his own set of possible problems. Most of it depends on chemistry and what the end use is going to be. Take a look at ASTM and API specifications. You might find your answer there. A metallurgist can answer your question.
