Trusting Your Phone-A-Friend Over Ask The Host | Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? 

Boom Boom - oh you made a joke that makes the Geeks laugh. What do you know about Chromium and the Periodic Table ?

And they are both overrated.

Exactly. If it were so I would sell all the cutlery I got from Poundland for more than I paid for it.

​@@speedy692 but you wouldn't have been able to get it from poundland in the first place

@@stephen3654Lol. I suppose not.

I am dutch. We have these stores we call: Kringloopwinkels. Stuff people do not need, they can bring it in and have the store sell it. They wont earn any money, but just to help others out. I dunno how you call em in English. Anyways, it is second hand stuff. And guess what you can find there? Silver cutlery. For pennies. So why would i want to visit a "poundland" where things cost a pound or more, if i can pick em up for pennies because ignorant people do not know what some stuff is worth? @@stephen3654 there will always be ignorant people. So no shortage of supplies there.

At no point at all did he say "say again" you muppet. He repeated the word stainless steal. How your comment got so many likes is beyond me.

Exactly the price of a pan would be £1ooo plus doesn't silver melt easily ?

@@lliambunter Silver isn't that expensive really; it's £0.24 per gram, so a pan of 1kilo would be £24 of silver

@@SgtMclupus i was exaggerating a bit to get my point across

@@SgtMclupusyou multiply a gram by 1000, not 100. A gram of silver is approx 60p ergo A Kilo of Silver is approx £600.

@@AfroGaz71 10%, so 100g.

It's not that expensive.

@@stevehughes240 Exactly; it's £0.24 per gram for pure silver, Sterling is even cheaper. When you buy jewellery from silver, you pay more for the craftsmanship than the silver! Many times more for the craftsmanship

@@SgtMclupus If a table knife weighs 100 grams and, as you had said, 10% of it, or 10 grams, is made of silver, then the cost of the silver for one knife is already £2.40. You haven't added in the cost of the steel and, like you'd said, the craftsmenship, which will make each knife cost well over £3, say around £4. That's quite expensive. But that's not the important issue. Steel, or rather, iron, is more reactive than silver. So when you combine them together, if they are stable when combined together, there'll be a electrical reaction whenever they are in contact with water or moisture and a bit of impurities, and the steel will corrode easily, thus making your cutlery always rusty and unappealing to use. Chromium is used because it's more reactive than iron, and because it forms a layer of whitetish oxide over the iron that prevents the iron from corroding.

Stupidity at its best

@@stevehughes240 SS out of iron and 10% Ag would cost arround $30 per 310g of the alloy.

"Says"..... Yes, annoying.

Cr at the periodic table: I'm 24/7 at 24th place here, guys! ( ˘︹˘ )

"is"... agreed, annoying.

You can turn it off instead of moaning about it - or maybe you are someone who always likes to moan - maybe

@@robinwhelan8061 you could also choose to ignore this comment or moan about it, but I guess you like to moan about things

Brearley did not invent or discover stainless steel - he created a specific version of it.

😂😂

How come he cod get another phone afriend

@@dillianwhyte443 Covid so no ask the audience - you get 2x phone friend.

@@larry365 lol

Its not Vic lol I only realised when they said his name on the phone a friend lol

​@@zakzanotti5868 Vic is his stage name

@@zakzanotti5868 it is Vic Reeves tho

I have a masters in Mech Eng and, at least from what I recall, that was never covered. If it was, it was probably mentioned as a passing titbit.

@@TearTheRoof0ffdid my bachelors in mech engineering and it is 100% absolutely covered in the materials science class

Did he say it he didn't?

The guy even said ... could the rust be the no alloy steel coming through but then he forgot all logic. I thought he'd get it and then only to talk himself out of it.

Good quality chrome does not rust. Shit Chinese stuff does .

@@rocknral Chrome doesn't rust at all, that's why it's used to electroplate other metals.

How does that help? I guess they'd know Chromium is an element instead of an alloy, but given they said steel would be mixed with it, not being an element isn't an issue.

Just looking at the periodic table wouldn't help you answer this question thou...

@@chipinn1 He was thinking chromium was an alloy. Had he refreshed himself he would have known it was a element not an alloy. He was right with his reasoning with the other elements, and he would have realised it was the most likely.

@@brontewcat knowing it’s an element wouldn’t tell you it’s part of stainless steel alloy but I take your point it would have made it easier to take a reasonable guess. Was more tryna make a point that just learning what’s on the period table for quiz shows will rarely give u the answer to the chemistry questions because you mostly have to know how these elements are used the context of real life.

It is not, sadly

even in czech we call stainless steel dishes chromed dishes:o)

Or just wear cutlery as pendants

It is!

@@kbarr07 I know I'm takking the piss

We used to be an empire and now we’ve got Brexit. Things change

@@Ron.S. If you think that Brexit is the biggest problem with Britain since the Empire, then you're a bigger problem than Brexit all by yourself.

@@donmontague4107 it’s the biggest economic crisis/sanctions that we inflicted on ourselves that’s for sure. Facts. Government data - 4% long term negative economic growth. 🤷‍♂️

​@Ron.S. We used to be an empire, we then got consumed by another empire, which we only recently managed to free ourselves from

@@MrEdrftgyuji Did you forget about the other empire that you are still consumed by?

He might've known about stainless steel. His door, window and toilet were made out of it.

"too heavy"? Since when was that a consideration?

@@grantm6514 This is used on cars, right?

@@mscolli3 Stainless steel? Hardly used on cars at all.

@@grantm6514 Ok, guess I was thinking of something else.

@abigmonkeyforme "Tungsten is "too heavy" (actually too dense...) to be a component of steel. In other words, if you have basic knowledge of these metals, you know tungsten makes no sense as a component of steel." And yet... tungsten makes perfect sense as a component of high speed steel. Fancy that, eh?

Psst… Vic Reeves is a stage name for Jim Moir.

@@StellifyMedia right, I didn’t know that

Vic Reeves is the stage name! Did he seem to be in character? Jim Moir is his real name!

@@joshuataylor3550 cheers for pointing out the mistake - hadn’t had my morning coffee yet when replying 🥴

@@joshuataylor3550 interesting. I always believed Vic Reeves was his real name. You learn something new everyday

Silver is £0.24 per gram; I wouldn't call that the least expensive. Titanium is £3.60 per gram, Gold is £47.92 per gram, just for comparison

@@SgtMclupus I'm well aware of the price of silver... it would make steel much more expensive

@@SgtMclupus Silver is about £0.62 and Chromium, as far as I can see, is around £0.01. Ferrochromium, which is used in stainless steel, is even cheaper, working out to less than a third of a penny per gram of Chromium.

@@SgtMclupus But then that IS the least expensive. At least of the ones you wrote.

@@JohnSmith-ws7fq I looked up the price of silver when I wrote the comment, and used that price, so how you can contradict the price I wrote baffles me... 🤷🏻‍♂️

I was sure it was Vic Reeves....I was looking through the comments to be sure it wasn't him!

Fuck...just finished watching...it was Vic Reeves!

Jim Moir is Vic Reeves.

They could, while Ask The Audience was out of action due to COVID

Yeah - audience is back soon though!

Are you serious? Clarkson is the IBEX.

It wasn't invented. It's on the periodic table as an element with the atom number 24. It was DISCOVERED in 1798 by a person named Nicholas Louis Vauquelin. The name is derived from the greek 'chroma' which means colour. It's melting point is about 500 degrees celsius higher than carbon steel.

@@eidodk so who failed to read between the lines?

@@hauskalainen to be fair there's only one line

During the pandemic we replaced Ask The Audience with a second Phone-A-Friend

It is 😅
