Stainless steel is very useful material in our life. In stainless steel, iron is mixed with Correct Answer Ni and Cr

Concept - 

Alloys:

  • Alloys are metal mixtures with additional elements whose precise composition is dictated by the qualities required.
  • They are metallic in nature, which means they have strong thermal and electrical conductivity.
  • Alloys are metal alloys or metal alloys with additional elements.
  • Other metals/elements can be added to metals in certain ratios to make alloys that give specific properties or strengthen some of the metals' existing properties.
  • In simple terms, an alloy is a homogenous blend of two or more metals, or a metal and a non-metal.
  • Examples -
  1. Steel 
    • Steel is a very popular alloy because of its inexpensive cost and great tensile strength.
    • It is an alloy made up of iron(Fe) and carbon(C).
  2. Bronze 
    • Bronze is a copper(Cu) and tin(Sn) alloy.
    • Medals, coins, trophies, hefty gears and tools, and several types of electrical devices all employ it.
  3. Nichrome 
    • Nichrome is an alloy made mostly of nickel(Ni) and chromium(Cr).
    • Resistance wires are the most common use of nichrome.
    • Certain electrical equipment, such as space heaters and bread toasters, employ it as the heating element.
  4. Brass 
    • Brass is a copper-zinc alloy with variable proportions of copper(Cu) and zinc(Zn) to obtain different mechanical, electrical, and chemical properties.
    •  It's also been commonly utilized for utensils of many kinds.
    • Because of its dazzling gold-like appearance, brass has long been a desirable decorative material.
  5. Stainless Steel 
    • It is an alloy of iron(Fe), Nickel(Ni), and chromium(Cr). 
    • Utensils are made from stainless steel.
    • This alloy does not undergo rusting. 

Explanation - 

  • Stainless steel does not undergo rusting. 
  • It is an alloy of - iron(Fe), Nickel (Ni), and Chromium (Cr).
  • It has a wide range of applications it is used in Buildings, to make utensils, and sometimes jewellery.
  • Hence, the correct answer to this question is - Nickel(Ni) and Chromium(Cr).
    • It is made up of iron mixed with nickel and chromium.
