Iron is a metal and an element found on the Periodic Table.

Steel is a common name for many combinations of Iron, Carbon and other elements such as manganese, chromium, vanadium, and tungsten. These other elements are added to control the hardness of the material and control many other characteristics of the metal overall, melting point, ductility, etc. Visit Industrial Interface below to help with other engineering design problems.

Where was carbon steel first used?

According to my calculations, Carbon Steel was used thousands of years ago, because, if carbon steel swords were invented thousands of years ago then- heres a question: if carbon steel swords was invented back then, then what made carbon steel swords? the same thing we use to make carbon steel, which is mainly carbon and iron. The carbon, when mixed with molten iron, in fixed proportions, steel of varying strengths are formed. Steel is strong since the carbon atoms enter the metallic lattice of iron the difference in size of the carbon and iron atoms restrict movement of the layers (atoms) hence when a force is applied, the steel resists. by 11SHIFT
