What percentage of chromium and nickel are usually present in stainless steel?

What percentage of chromium and nickel are usually present in stainless steel? Correct Answer 18% Chromium, 8% Nickel

Explanation:

There are three general classification of stainless steels:

(1) Austenitic stainless steel

(2) Martensitic stainless steel

(3) Ferritic stainless steel

  • The most widely used steel is the 18 – 8 stainless steel i.e. this steel contains 18% Chromium (Cr) and 8% Nickel (Ni).
  • This steel belongs to the austenitic stainless - steel class and is non - magnetic in nature.

Consider the following statements
1. Galvanisation is the method of protecting steel and iron fromrusting by coating them with a thin layer of zinc.
2. Pure iron is very soft but if it is mixed with a small amount of carbon, it becomes hard and strong.
3. When iron is mixed with nickel and chromium, we get stainless steel, which is hard and does not rust.
