What is the crystal structure of Austenitic stainless steel?(a) Face centered cubic structure(b) Body-centered cubic structure(c) Hexagonal close packed structure(d) Simple cubic structureThis question was posed to me in an interview.This intriguing question comes from Principles topic in division Corrosion Principles of Corrosion Engineering

Answer»

Right answer is (a) Face centered cubic STRUCTURE

Best explanation: Austenitic stainless steel is an alloy of iron, CHROMIUM, and nickel. Due to the HIGH content of chromium, the resultant stabilizes in the austenitic phase. AUSTENITE USUALLY exists in the FCC (Face centered cubic) crystal structure.
