[ Cleaning Stainless Steel ]
The 304 Surgical Stainless Steel contains about 18 to 20% chromium and 8 to 10% nickel in addition to the iron. The popularity of 304 surgical stainless steel is due to its gleaming appearance which lasts for the life of a product with just an occasional cleaning.
Its excellent corrosion resistance is due to an invisible, passive oxide film that forms on the metal's surface in air.
Hospitals use surgical stainless steel because it can be kept clean and sterile.

Austenitic:
Austenitic steels have austenite as their primary phase (face centered cubic crystal). These are alloys containing chromium and nickel (sometimes manganese and nitrogen), structured around the Type 302 composition of iron, 18% chromium, and 8% nickel. Austenitic steels are not hardenable by heat treatment. The most familiar stainless steel is probably Type 304, sometimes called T304 or simply 304. Type 304 surgical stainless steel is an austenitic steel containing 18-20% chromium and 8-10% nickel.
More Information
The layers allow even heat flow, and durability. The aluminum conducts heat well in the inner layers, but is not desirable on the outside because it corrodes and comes off in the food. Stainless steel protects the food and the cookware itself. Stainless steel also contains iron which makes it good for magnetic induction stoves.
