inossidabile
Inossidabile is an Italian adjective meaning resistant to oxidation, or not easily oxidized. In scientific and industrial contexts it is used to describe materials that do not readily form oxides when exposed to air, moisture, or chemical environments. The term is most commonly associated with stainless steel, known in Italian as acciaio inossidabile, a family of iron-based alloys that contain chromium and often nickel and molybdenum. These alloys develop a thin, passive chromium oxide layer on the surface that protects the underlying metal from further corrosion and can repair itself if damaged, a property called passivation.
The chromium content in stainless steels is typically at least about 10.5 percent by mass, though corrosion
In everyday usage, inossidabile is sometimes employed in marketing or descriptions of jewelry, cutlery, and other
Overall, inossidabile denotes a quality of resisting oxidation, with stainless steel being the archetype most closely
