Re: [TR] Stainless Steel

ChatGPT confirms:

Yes, it is possible to plate steel with stainless steel. This process is known 
as electroplating or galvanization and involves depositing a thin layer of 
stainless steel onto the surface of the steel through an electrolytic process.

In this process, the steel is first cleaned and then placed in an electrolytic 
bath with a solution containing the ions of the stainless steel. An electric 
current is then passed through the solution, causing the ions to be deposited 
onto the surface of the steel.

The resulting plated steel will have the corrosion-resistant properties of 
stainless steel, which can be beneficial for applications where the steel will 
be exposed to harsh environments or corrosive substances.
