Stainless Steel Mastery Quiz

Master the Art of Metallurgy - Interactive MCQ Challenge

Test your knowledge on Austenitic, Ferritic, Martensitic, Duplex & PH Stainless Steel

Quick Steel Category Reference

Austenitic

  • Non-magnetic (annealed)
  • Excellent toughness
  • Cryogenic service
  • Cannot heat treat

Ferritic

  • Always magnetic
  • SCC resistant
  • DBTT issues
  • Poor cryogenic

Martensitic

  • High hardness
  • Heat treatable
  • Lower corrosion
  • Lower toughness

Duplex

  • Partially magnetic
  • Best SCC resistance
  • High strength
  • Balanced properties

PH Stainless

  • Age hardening
  • Controlled strength
  • Intermetallic precipitation
  • Good corrosion

Interviewer's Hidden Checklist

Magnetism

Structure-dependent, not grade name

Strength

Microstructure, not chemistry alone

Corrosion

Chromium + environment

SCC

Ferrite fraction matters

Heat Treatment

Phase transformation logic

Application

Service condition > grade popularity
