Answer: -

Rimmed steel does not contain nickel.

Explanation: -

Rimmed steel is a deoxidised low carbon steel. Deoxidation leads to formation of rims in the iron.

Carbon, sulfur and phosphorus is present in rimmed steel. The concentrations of these vary from the outer rim to the inner rim. It is not as tough as other steel.

Hence it is primarily used for products where a lot of bending is required. Thus Rimmed steel does not contain nickel.
