12%? That's a lot of chromium! I hope they're not planning to make swords out of this steel. *chuckles*

Hold on, is this a trick question? 5% chromium? That seems way too low to make a significant difference in corrosion resistance. I'll have to go with 12%.

Chromium is important, but I'm not sure 12% is the minimum. Let me think... I'll go with the more moderate option of 7%.

Hmm, 9% seems a bit low. I'd go with the higher percentage of 12% for better corrosion resistance.

I see your point, but I think increasing chromium to 12% would provide better resistance to CO corrosion.

I think the answer is 12%. Chromium is a key alloying element in stainless steel, and it helps increase resistance to corrosion.
