Stainless steel is used widely in the chemical industry. Gold, platinum, rhodium and iridium have good corrosion resistance

thankyou teddio

all the metals that you mention ,can they be classed as noble metals.?

[Trevilino]

Noble metals are metals that are resistant to corrosion or oxidation, unlike most base metals. They tend to be precious metals, often due to perceived rarity. Examples include gold, silver, tantalum, platinum, palladium and rhodium.
