The main difference between 18/0 and 18/10 stainless steel lies in the nickel content.
-
18/0 stainless steel contains 18% chromium and 0% nickel. This alloy is still rust-resistant and durable but lacks the added benefits of nickel, such as enhanced corrosion resistance and a more polished finish. It’s typically used for lower-cost flatware and kitchenware.
-
18/10 stainless steel contains 18% chromium and 10% nickel, which gives it superior resistance to rust, staining, and corrosion. The nickel content also enhances the steel’s ability to retain its shine and gives it a smoother, more refined surface. This alloy is often used in high-end cutlery, surgical instruments, and dental tools because of its strength and hygiene-friendly qualities.
The addition of nickel in 18/10 also makes it more resistant to heat and more durable overall. It’s the preferred choice for premium cutlery, cookware, and medical instruments due to its long-lasting properties.
So, when you see 18/10, you're essentially getting a more polished and durable product compared to 18/0!
