Low carbon steels are the most common form of steel, containing approx. 0.05 to 0.15% of carbon. We can use it for:
- Car bodies
- Screw nuts
- Bolts
- Beams for buildings and bridges
- plate for line pipe
- automotiveheet applications

Is steel an element of iron?
No, steel is not an element. It is actually considered an alloy, and the elements iron and carbon are the basic ingredients for making steel. Certainly other elements can be added for different reasons, like chromium for the production of stainless steel. But it is iron and carbon that make steel.
What is the equivalent BS steel of astm a36 steel?
BSEN 10025-3GRS420N give me the material composition number
If only low and high plain carbon steels are present what simple method can be employed to distinguish between them?
By performing a spark test in a grinder. The colour of the spark is different in each case. High carbon steel will give out bright yellow sparks.
What is high carbon steel made out of?
It all begins in a blast furnace; coke (a high carbon form of coal) and iron ore (haematite) are heated together until we are left with pure molten iron and slag (a waste product) which are both filtered out of the bottom of the blast furnace. The hot iron is taken to a melting shop where it is mixed with recycled steel scraps and other alloys in a basic oxygen furnace, you are left with steel. The steel is cast and the repeatedly rolled and stretched. Once it is the size and length required they allow it to cool. It can be 'pickled' to give it extra qualities: for example a zinc coating can be added to make 'galvanized iron' (which is resistant to corrosion). Steel is 100% recyclable
What is difference between MS steel and SS steel?
There are lots of stainless steels. Steel, by definition is an alloy containing carbon. The different alloyed elements give various steels their properties -- including strength, stiffness, brittleness, corrosion resistance, among others.Mild steel contains 0.16-0.29% carbon.Carbon steel has a carbon content in the range of 0.30-1.70% by weight.Stainless steel has a minimum of 11% chromium content by mass.Only stainless steel does not corrode."Stainless Steels" don't corrode because one of their alloying metals (usually chromium or molybdenum) forms a passivemigrates to the surface of the solid and forms a thin, hard oxide layer that is difficult to get through. In addition, there are electrochemical reasons why chromium and some other elements are resistant to corrosion.
Is carbon steel a non ferrous metal?
High carbon steel is a metal.The addition of carbon makes the steel harder after heat treatment.
Can you give me a example of a ferrous metal?
Examples of ferrous metals are :1.Mild Steel2.Wrought Iron3.Stainless Steel4.Cast Iron5.Carbon Steel
How difference between stainless steel and carbon steel?
carbon steel is iron with "structured" carbon which make iron strong (hard). stainless steel is steel with different percentage contain of aluminium, nickel, chrome... which give the steel different kind of other characteristics including "stainless- the ability of not getting rusted."
Give you 3 examples of a conductor?
copper, steel, and moist air
What are the examples of pure substance and give their uses?
Examples of pure substance: gold, silver, carbon dioxide, hydrogen
Why wouldn't carbon-hardened steel be very magnetic?
Stainless steel is not a pure magnetic metal, its really a collective name for a steel alloy that is mixed with other metals in order to give it the properties that make the metal compound so desirable.
What are two kinds of disturbances that change ecosystem give two examples?
carbon and climate
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.
Is steel an element of iron?
No, steel is not an element. It is actually considered an alloy, and the elements iron and carbon are the basic ingredients for making steel. Certainly other elements can be added for different reasons, like chromium for the production of stainless steel. But it is iron and carbon that make steel.
How Much is Alloy 1090 Please give a real answer?
There is no way to give an answer - metal prices change daily. Alloy 1090 is expensive for a tool metal but nothing compared with gold. It is carbon and steel with a higher carbon content than other high carbon steel - the more carbon infused, the more expensive the metal. As an example, a cheap tool made from a cheap low carbon steel is $3 - the same tool made from the same weight of high carbon steel might be in the $50 range. Sorry I can't get any more specific but even if there was a place that listed the price on a given day, it would be a lie tomorrow.
How much steel alloy is used to make stainless steel?
Yes, stainless steel is an iron-carbon alloy with a minimum of 11.5 wt% chromium content. Many of the common grades of stainless steel such as AISI 304, 316, 316L also have greater than 5% Nickel added. It improves the high temperature performance and stabilizes the austenite phase.
Are iron and steel the same?
No. Iron is a pure metallic element. Steel an alloy of iron iron with something else added, usually carbon, to give it more strength.
