There are lots of stainless steels. Steel, by definition is an alloy containing carbon. The different alloyed elements give various steels their properties -- including strength, stiffness, brittleness, corrosion resistance, among others.

Mild steel contains 0.16-0.29% carbon.

Carbon steel has a carbon content in the range of 0.30-1.70% by weight.

Stainless steel has a minimum of 11% chromium content by mass.

Only stainless steel does not corrode.

"Stainless Steels" don't corrode because one of their alloying metals (usually chromium or molybdenum) forms a passivemigrates to the surface of the solid and forms a thin, hard oxide layer that is difficult to get through. In addition, there are electrochemical reasons why chromium and some other elements are resistant to corrosion.
