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.

Difference between stainless steel and duplex stainless steel?
dublex ss has 22% or more but ss has 18%cr or less the main difference is that duplex is a mix of a ferrite / austenite structure approx 50%/50%, and so the name "duplex" while stainless steel has just one structure, for example the 18/10 is an austenitic.

What does it mean SS Round Rod?
Engineers and metal workers use the following abbreviations for metals. SS - Stainless Steel. MS- Mild Steel which means the weakest strength steel which is made. RHS - Rectangular Hollow Section. SHS - Square Hollow Section. There are many grades of Stainless Steel, depending upon what it is to be used for. Some cheap grades of SS , are only partly rust resistant. More expensive types such as used to make kitchen sinks, are totally rust free.
