Carbon Steel is used upto 427 oC or upto 1100 oF.
-40 to 427 degree centigrade
Because high carbon steel has low fluidity & low carbon steel has high fluidity.
Heat increases the potential energy and temperature of steel.
a105 is forged carbon steel fittings and are used in ambient temperature or low temperature service whereas, a234 is wrought carbon steel/low alloy steel fitting used in moderate or elevated temperatures.
pls refer to carbon-phase diagram... mild steel will be liquid and welded with temp. of >1300degC
There are 4 they are Low Carbon steel, Medium Carbon Steel, High Carbon Steel and Eutectiod
Because high carbon steel has low fluidity & low carbon steel has high fluidity.
The amount of carbon in iron metal determines the strength and type of steel.Steel with low carbon is called low carbon steel and carbon with medium carbon called medium carbon steel. It is called low carbon steel if the carbon content is around 2.5 % or less. Others may be called medium or high carbon steel like that used in Die Steel of cutting tools. Generally low carbon steel are preferred if welding is adopted.
Heat increases the potential energy and temperature of steel.
The melting point of steel goes down to a lower temperature when the proportion of carbon is increased. The steel becomes harder and is not as easy to weld as lower-carbon steel.

Steel is not an element it is a metallic alloy containing iron, carbon and other additives. At standard temperature and pressure it is a solid.
The lowest temperature at which austenite transforms into ferrite and cementite. Steel with 0.77 percent carbon transforms at this temperature. Learn more abouteutectoid temperaturein the classHeat Treatment of Steel 230below.
Low carbon steel is steel with low carbon. High carbon steel is steel with high carbon

Steel is mainly Iron with small amount of Nickel or/and chromium, carbon content of steel is about 2.5%. The increase in temperature increases the distance among the Iron atoms so carbon become accommodated easily in material.
High carbon steel is a metal.The addition of carbon makes the steel harder after heat treatment.
