Does carbon have high melting point?

it has a low melting point


What are Low carbon steel properties?

Low carbon steel has about 0.05% to 0.25% carbon content that is combined with iron. When compared with steel with higher carbon content, its properties are that it is relatively softer, less strong, more malleable, easy to shape, and has a higher melting point. Generally speaking the strength and hardness of steel increases with the percentage of carbon in the alloy.


Does a metal have a high or low melting point?

All metals have different melting points but they are all high


Why carbon content decreases the melting point?

All things being equal, increasing the carbon content decreases the melting point. However, the melting point of carbon steel (steel that has a carbon content below about 2%) is dependent on its total alloy composition. Other compositional elements such as manganese, copper, chrome, silicon, etc. are always present to some degree in low carbon steel melted from recycled scrap material. For a binary carbon - iron system, the liquidus temperature begins at approximately, 2802 degrees Fahrenheit at 0% carbon and decreases to 2097° F at 4.3%.


What is low carbon steel and high carbon steel?

Low carbon steel is steel with low carbon. High carbon steel is steel with high carbon


Does stainless steel have high melting point?

Stainless steel's melting points can vary from a low of 1375°C for grade 316 steel to a high of 1510°C for grade 430. The most common grade, 304, has a melting point of 1400-1450°C

What temperature mild steel melts?

The low carbon concentrations (0.05-0.15%) in mild steel do not have a major effect on the melting point of iron, which is 1538 centigrade. Looking at the Iron-Carbon phase diagram show that the reduction from this melting temperature will be only a few degrees. At higher concentrations of carbon (2-4%), as in cast iron, the melting temperature is substantially reduced. The alloy starts melting at 1154 centigrade, and is completely molten by 1200-1400 centigrade depending on carbon content.


What temp will a tin can melt?

the melting point of tin (the element) is 21.23 º C Important to note that most "tin" cans are not tin. They are low carbon steel with a very thin, if any, tin plating. I'm not sure where the original answer got the melting point of tin. The actual melting point of tin is 231.93 °C or 449.47 °F. If the can is steel then it will take a much, much higher temperature to melt.


Why temperature drop is high in low carbon steel than high carbon steel?

Because high carbon steel has low fluidity & low carbon steel has high fluidity.


Naphthalene has high or low melting point?

low melting point


Do small hydrocarbons have with only a few carbon atoms have low or high boiling points?

The lower the carbon chain, the lower the melting point. As the carbon chain gets longer (ie: larger hydrocarbons), the melting point gets higher.
