What is plain carbon steel used for?

The various uses of carbon steel depend on the amount of carbon added to the alloy; for instance, carbon steel with the lowest amount of carbon is called wrought iron and is used for things like fencing. Medium-carbon steel, also called mild steel, is the type of steel that is used for structural purposes in buildings and bridges. High-carbon steel is used for springs and steel wires, while ultra-high carbon steel is called cast iron and is often used to make pots.


What are high voltage electric wires made of?

Primary utility wiring uses an ACSR cable, (Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced). The multiple strands of aluminum wires are wound around a center steel cable. The steel center is used to allow longer spans between poles or towers. Ordinary aluminum wire can not be long spanned because its weight would break the wire. All other high voltage wiring is done with different insulation thicknesses dependant upon what the voltage is. The higher the voltage the thicker the insulation. Insulation of the wires stops when the conductors carry kilo voltages usually above 5000 volts.
