Iron with differrent carbon percentage in it would have different strength and ductile properties at different temperatures.As the percentage of carbon increases its ductility decreases and strenght increases and brittleness increases.This is put in a diagram that explains the condition of iron with different carbon percentage.This is iron carbon system.

What is differentiate between steel and Cast iron with reference to their carbon percentage and hardness?
iron with 1.5% of carbon by volume or less is called carbon steel and above 1.5% it is called cast iron, hardmess increases with the carbon % i.e. cast iron is harder than carbon steel
What does low carbon steel contain?
iron and carbon
What is the main constituent metal in mild steel?
The main element of steel is Iron but has been added with carbon to make steel. The main element of steel is Iron but has been added with carbon to make steel.
What is the difference between mild iron and mild steel?
Iron is the pure element, mild steel, or any steel is iron with a little bit of carbon added. The iron becomes mild steel, steel or any other type of steel depending on how much carbon is added to the iron.
When carbon in cast iron is principally form of graphite the colour of the cast iron will be?
grey
Does iron have much carbon in it?
iron has no carbon in it if it is pure iron
What are the chemical formulas for iron ores?
There are two equations, the first to describe how the carbon reacts with the oxygen in the air,Carbon + Oxygen ---- Carbon Monoxideor2C + 02 ---- 2COThe second describes how the carbon monoxide reacts with the iron oxide forming carbon dioxide and pure iron,Carbon Monoxide + Iron Oxide ---- Iron + Carbon Dioxideor3 CO + Fe2O3 ---- 2 Fe + 3 CO2Another might beiron oxide + carbon --> carbon dioxide + iron
How many types of iron and their compositions?
pig iron or cast iron having 4.5% carbon as an impurity wroght iron having 0.15% of carbon steel having 1% carbon
Do stainless steel have iron in it?
Yes, it has iron, chromium, carbon and nickel.
How much carbon is in pure iron?
If it is pure iron then by definition there is no carbon or anything else present in it, just iron.
What does carbon dioxide and iron dioxide have in common?
Both of these are oxides (of carbon and iron respectively).
What is the carbon content in cast iron?
Cast iron has greater than 2.1% carbon.
Is cast iron contains carbon?
cast iron contain a considerable amount of carbon
What is the name of iron that has been alloyed with little carbon?
Steel is the alloy of iron and carbon.
What is the answer if the iron and carbon will be add?
If you want to add carbon to an iron alloy all you need to do is melt the iron in the presence of carbon. The carbon will be absorbed and alloy automatically. Carbon can also be added to a thin layer of the surface of a piece of solid iron alloy without melting simply by heating the iron red hot and covering it with carbon for a period of time.
What happens to the element in iron ore when the ore is mixed with carbon and heated?
Iron ores most often contain iron combined with oxygen. The carbon comes from a material called coke, which is made from coal. When heated, the carbon reacts with oxygen in the ore, leaving the purified iron metal behind.
What is differentiate between steel and Cast iron with reference to their carbon percentage and hardness?
iron with 1.5% of carbon by volume or less is called carbon steel and above 1.5% it is called cast iron, hardmess increases with the carbon % i.e. cast iron is harder than carbon steel
