Pono ia e pale i ka corrosion o nā ʻakika like ʻole e like me ka oxalic acid, sulfuric acid-iron sulfate, nitric acid, nitric acid-hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid-copper sulfate, phosphoric acid, formic acid, acetic acid a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. Hoʻohana nui ʻia ia i ka ʻoihana kemika, ka meaʻai, ka lāʻau lapaʻau, ka hana pepa, ka ʻaila, ka ikehu atomic, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. I mea e hōʻoia ai i ka hoʻokō ʻana o nā mea mechanical e like me ka ikaika o ka hoʻoulu ʻana, ka ikaika tensile, ka elongation a me ka paʻakikī o nā papa kila stainless i nā koi, pono nā papa kila e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka wela e like me ka annealing, ka hoʻoponopono ʻana, a me ka mālama ʻana i ka wā kahiko ma mua o ka lawe ʻana.
