____ stainless steels are used in applications requiring both wear resistance and corrosion resistance, such as surgical knives and razor blades.
A) Ferritic
B) Austenitic
C) Martensitic
D) Precipitation hardening

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Martensitic stainless steels are known for their high hardness and wear resistance, making them ideal for applications where both wear resistance and corrosion resistance are required, such as surgical knives and razor blades. Ferritic and austenitic stainless steels do not possess the same level of hardness and wear resistance as martensitic steels, while precipitation hardening stainless steels are typically used in applications where high strength is required, rather than wear resistance.
