Nickel+Stainless+Steel

Over 85% of nickel mined in Europe goes into making alloys. Europe uses about 3000 nickel-containing alloys every day.

Stainless steel is the composition of nickel, chrome and steel. The nickel makes the steel non-corrosive and the chrome makes it stronger. Stainless steel is commonly used for kitchen utensils and outdoor materials.

Stainless steel was discovered by a French man, Pierre Berthier who noted the resistance against rust and suggested to use them in everyday tools such as before said utensils.
