Why use stainless steel ? Stainless steel is the ideal material choice for a wide range of plant applications due to its resistance to corrosive products such as acids , caustic solutions , oxidizers , and environmental corrosive elements such as salt laden air when found near the sea . However , other gases such as sulfur dioxide , hydrogen sulfide , carbon monoxide , and chlorine also attack stainless steel leading to localized pitting , stress corrosion , and crevice corrosion cracking .
