weight and price, if you ask me. haha steel alloy is cheaper and i believe tougher than carbon. carbon is expensive but light weighed. i bought a carbon handle bar for about Php 3,500.00. alloy handlebars ranges from Php 300.00 (ordinary) to about Php 1,500.00 (top of the line handlebars).

Wiki User
∙ 13y agoIt depends on what type of alloy steel you are referring to. Alloy steels such as Cpm D2 would generally be "stronger" then plain carbon steels.

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.
What is the Property difference between steel and stainless steell?
When an alloy of steel contains more than approximately 10 ½% Chromium it can be classified as a stainless steel. There are several clasifications of stainless steel with varying propertys Martensitic, Ferritic, Austenitic and Duplex.
Why is stainless steel better than iron for water gate?
Stainless steel is rust resistant; iron rusts easily. A stainless steel water gate will last longer than an iron one.
What Stainless steel has chemical properties such as?
Alloys have better properties than single metals.
What are the differences between chrome and stainless steel water faucets?
Chrome is more durable and cheaper than stainless steel.
Are stainless steel ovens any better than non stainless steel?
No, an oven being stainless steel does not make it work better than a non stainless steel version.
Difference between alloy steel and stainless steel?
the composition of the metal alloy steel is a steel with usually less than 5% of other elements, like molybdenum, copper, chrome.. while stainless steel is a steel with at least 10-11% of chromium
What is Carbon steel and stainless steel?
Carbon steel is an iron alloy with less than 2% carbon, no chromium, and contains copper and magnesium not more than 0.6% Stainless steel is an iron alloy with less than 2% carbon and it contains chromium and it's resistive to corrosion
Is stainless steel harder than steel?
Stainless steel is a steel-chromium alloy that is more resistant to corrosion than carbon-steel or other steel alloys. As with all steel, it strength depends on its grade; but overall the strength difference between carbon steel and stainless steel is negligible.
Why is it that steel is made up with alloy?
the various alloys have properties that are better for certain applications than pure iron. Carbide Steel is stronger than Iron Stainless Steel doesn't rust as quickly as Iron.
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.
Why is stainless steel so important?
An alloy is when there are more than one elemnet present. So pure iron is not an alloy. If carbon is added to the iron that makes steel. If Chromium and Nickel are added that makes a grade of Austenitic Stainless steel which is thus an alloy not an element.
What is the Property difference between steel and stainless steell?
When an alloy of steel contains more than approximately 10 ½% Chromium it can be classified as a stainless steel. There are several clasifications of stainless steel with varying propertys Martensitic, Ferritic, Austenitic and Duplex.
Why is stainless steel so expensive than steel?
Stainless steels are produced in carefully controlled environments and have higher alloy contents-both of which bring up costs.
What is harder than stainless steel?
Many things are harder than stainless steel. Stainless steel can vary in hardness depending on the alloy and any treatment(s), but lots of carbon steels can be harder. Certainly diamond is harder as it is the hardest substance known to man.
Why is stainless steel better than iron for certian products?
Stainless steel is better than iron for certain products because it is resistant to corrosion. Visit the website in the related links to view a range of stainless steel products.
What make steel stainless and what way is stainless steel better than pure iron in making cutlery?
"Stainless" means that it doesn't rust.
