iron by itself is a very weak metal and it does not find any good use in the industrial applications. when carbon is added to iron as a solid solution it adds strength to it. this gives us the steel alloy. if you refer the iron-iron carbide equilibrium diagram then you will find it amazing how iron and carbon can exhibit different crystal structure this leads to the formation of a lot of variety of steel. steels can be heat treated from being very soft to being very hard and the opposite can be done as well. very tough steels can be made, very ductile steels can be made , very hard steels can be made , etc etc etc etc.,

What are the properties of aluminium 6061?
This alloy contain magnesium, Fe, Mn, Cr, Cu, Zn, Ti and silicon; the alloy has good mechanical properties and it is easy to process.
What is the mixture of elements that have metallic properties between a pure metal a suspension an alloy or a gas?
An alloy is a mixture of elements that has metallic properties. The properties vary depending on the percentage mix.
What is a mixture of elements that has the properties of a metal?
alloy
How do alloys change the properties of metals?
An alloy results when an additional element is introduced into the metalic crystal. Metal+ metal = alloy (zinc + copper + carbon = brass) Would carbon not be a product of the reaction?
What are the mechanical properties of matter?
It will be crystal.Crystal is the main property
Mechanical properties of EN 31 STEEL?
What are the mechanical properties of EN 8 and E N 26 steel. Whether it is advisable to use this material for seawater pump shafts
Is steel typed according to the composition?
Alloy steel. Non-alloy steel. Different elements of steels used in these elements affect the mechanical properties of steel. The most important element. Carbon. Copper. Titanium. Cream. Molybdenum.

What is the most important alloy used today?
Carbon steel is an alloy of carbon and iron. Steel also often has other additives to provide particular properties, such as stainless steel.
What is the strongest alloy in terms of tensile strength?
It will depend on the Alloy. You need the alloy steel AISI - SAE material designation; such as 4140 or 8620. Mechanical engineering handbooks will have the mechanical properties listed in an appendix; such as UTS, YS, Modulus (E), etc. In addition, steel distributor's will have books (free) that have the mechanical properties listed. I did attempt to add a website as an example of where you could go on-line as well. I am not sure where or how the link will appear.

What is Difference of plain carbon and alloy steels?
First this is wrong type of question, meaning that there is no such animal as non-alloy steel, just by the simplest definition of steel 'is an alloy of iron and carbon'.A more complex definition takes into account other elements which are added to steel such as Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni), Manganese (Mn) etc are just a few which are added to give certain properties after mechanical working and heat-treatment.
What Is Properties of gold?
alloy
What is the main metal of stainless steel?
Primarily iron, with some carbon and nickel in the alloy. The precise proportions will determine the properties of the resulting steel.
