Stainless steel is an alloy of steel and nickel, and exists as a gateway to space-grade machinery in NTM: Space. Production of this alloy requires you to venture into space to acquire the necessary nickel.
Production
The primary way of producing stainless steel is by alloying 1 part steel to 1 part nickel, producing 2 parts of stainless steel. This can be done either in a blast furnace, or in a crucible.

Uses
Stainless steel, as described above, is useful in producing many space-grade machines, such as atmospheric compressors, and orbital station ports.
It can also be used to boost the efficiency of high-speed steel production, producing double the amount that the regular recipe does.
