Per Volume (if they both take the same space amount up): Carbon Fiber is actually 5x stronger than steel. It is also 2x more stiff. This material has a really, really, really strength-to-weight ratio, which makes it great for almost anything the requires high strength and low weigth. Also, it might be cheaper than steel if you find the best place to buy it from. However, you might not be able to find it in any form you desire. It is avalible in some or many shapes and sizes, but the price might have to ramped up. By: Venom751998

How can car companies get the benefit from using carbon fiber?
The key benefit of carbon fiber is its impressive strength-to-weight ratio. Beyond its advantages compared to aluminum, which we mentioned above, carbon fiber is five times lighter and 10 times stronger than typical steel.
What is the difference between a carbon fiber and GRP?
Carbon fiber is lighter and stronger than GRP and it has a longer lifespan.
Is diamond stronger than low carbon steel?
Yes.
What are the advantages of a carbon fiber hood?
The Advantages of a carbon fiber hood are that it makes the car lighter because carbon fiber is a stronger and lighter material than the material tradition car hoods are constructed from.
Is fiberglass stronger than carbon fiber?
If it's laid properly, it can be. Then again...you get a guy who uses the best resins, and the best fiberglass, and he can give you a stronger composite using fiberglass than an inexperienced person using carbon fiber.
Which is stronger steel or steel maganese alloy?
Manganese steel alloys are stronger than lower carbon steel, because the increase of manganese and carbon allows steel to be used in a tempered condition. Tool steels and die steels contain higher content of manganese than mild steels.
Is carbon heavy?
Carbon fiber is actually very light. Five times lighter than steel, and just as strong
Why is structural steel stronger than plain carbon steel?
Carbon steel due to the formation of pearlite layers of very weak and fragile, but the structural steel due to the strong molecular bonds are
Why mild steel for car bodies?
It is cheaper and easier to manufacture than aluminum, fiberglass, carbon fiber or stainless steel bodies.
