D
nickel and chromium
Nickel and chromium are mixed with iron to get stainless steel. Stainless steel is primarily made by mixing iron with chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni). Chromium provides corrosion resistance, while nickel enhances strength and durability. Some stainless steel grades may also contain small amounts of carbon, molybdenum, and manganese to improve specific properties.
