All stainless steel contains varying amounts of iron, carbon, and corrosion-inhibiting chromium. However, ferritic stainless steel, often used for cooking utensils, contains a higher percentage of chromium (at least 10.5%) than does austenitic stainless steel and a higher concentration of iron, which is responsible for its magnetic properties. Unlike ferritic stainless steel, austenitic stainless steel has a face-centered cubic crystalline structure resulting from the addition of nickel to the alloy. Austenitic stainless steel has two subtypes: the 200 series, often used for washing machines, and the 300 series, which has more nickel than the 200 series and is often used for mining and chemical equipment or compensators. Thus, stainless steel used to manufacture
Which choice most logically completes the text?
cooking utensils will have greater magnetic properties than stainless steel used to manufacture mining and chemical equipment will.
A
mining and chemical equipment will have a concentration of chromium lower than 10.5%, while stainless steel used for washing machines will not.
B
cooking utensils will have a face-centered cubic crystalline structure.
C
compensators will likely have a similar crystalline structure to stainless steel used to manufacture cooking utensils.
D
