The 18:8 stainless steel is composed of:
Show Hint
- 18-Chromium, 8-Nickel
- 18-Cobalt, 8-Chromium
- 18-Cobalt, 8-Nickel
- 18-Nickel, 8-Chromium
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The 18:8 stainless steel composition refers to the presence of 18% chromium and 8% nickel. This combination of elements gives stainless steel its corrosion resistance and durability. The high chromium content is responsible for the steel's resistance to oxidation, while nickel contributes to the alloy's toughness and strength. Other compositions such as cobalt and nickel or cobalt and chromium are not typically used in 18:8 stainless steel.
