Which of the following crystal structures characterises the austenitic stainless steel ?
Correct answer: C. Face centred cubic
- A. Simple hexagonal
- B. Body centred cubic
- C. Face centred cubic
- D. None of these
Explanation
Austenitic stainless steels have a face-centred cubic structure, which gives them high ductility and good formability. Body-centred cubic structures are characteristic of ferritic and martensitic stainless steels.
