  1. Which of the following elements is not present in stainless steel?
    1. Iron
    2. Tungsten
    3. Chromium
    4. Nickel
Correct Option: B

Stainless steel is defined as a steel alloy of iron with a minimum of 10.5% to 11% chromium content by mass. There are different types of stainless steels: when nickel is added, for instance, the austenite structure of iron is stabilized. This crystal structure makes such steels virtually non-magnetic and less brittle at low temperatures.
