What is Difference of plain carbon and alloy steels?
First this is wrong type of question, meaning that there is no such animal as non-alloy steel, just by the simplest definition of steel 'is an alloy of iron and carbon'.A more complex definition takes into account other elements which are added to steel such as Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni), Manganese (Mn) etc are just a few which are added to give certain properties after mechanical working and heat-treatment.
Are low carbon steels difficult to cut?
normally it cover higher low and medium carbon steels without any other functional alloying elements. But mild steel is a very non-technical usage to describe any steel. Mostly they are defined by UTS and weldability, drawability etc.
What two elements form steel?
Steel contains Iron and Carbon. Various steels contain different compounds of the two plus other material to create different alloys.
Is alloy better than stainless steel?
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).
Why are alloys of metals used for more applications than pure metallic elements?
Alloys are harder, the different sized atoms make it harder for the atoms to slide past each other when the metal is under stress or when being manipulated therefore making it much more rigid. For example steel is comprised of carbon and iron. In pure iron all the atoms are the same size which allows the them to slide past each other considerably more easily than in steel which is comprised of at least 2 different elements with different sized atoms.
Why low carbon steels can be given a hard case?
state how low carbon steels can be given a hard case?
What is Vacuum oxygen decarburization process?
The VOD (Vacuum Oxygen Decarburisation) process is used for production of high chromium steels with lowest carbon contents. it is a type of furnace in which the molten meatal is placed under a vacuum chamber....
Is carbon an alloyed steel?
No. An alloy is an intimate mixture of 2 or more metals. Steels are actually regarded as being of 2 basic types - carbon and alloy. Carbon is an alloying element in carbon steels; there are other examples, such as: oxygen is regarded as an alloying element in zircaloy, silicon is an alloying element in aluminum and ferro-silicon, phosphorus in some types of bronze, etc. (not important if it is a metal or a non- metal).
What is the difference between mild steel and galvanised steel?
The difference is percentage of carbon, the main alloy element. Those irons containing less than 2% carbon are known as steels while those containing more than 2% carbon are known as pig iron. Pig iron is obtained from iron ore by processing it with coke in a blast furnace. This pig iron is then further processed to reduce the carbon content in different furnaces to obtain steels. These steels can be then further processed to obtain alloy steels, stainless steels by adding elements such as silicon, manganese, chromium, nickel, etc.

What are low alloy steels made out of?
Mostly iron. the "low" of the 'low alloy' can refer to both the carbon content and the prorprtion of other metals in the alloy.Alloy steels are broken down into two groups: low-alloy steels and high-alloy steels. The difference between the two is somewhat arbitrary: Smith and Hashemi define the difference at 4.0%, while Degarmo, et al., define it at 8.0%.
Is steel a mixture or a pure substance?
Steels (there are many different kinds) are alloys, or mixtures, of many components. Steels are normally made mainly of Iron (a basic element, Fe) and other components such as Chromium, Molybdenum, Carbon, etc., etc. In many Stainless Steels iron is not the main alloy.
Which metals are attracted by magnets?
Iron and many steels also nickel.
What are several important alloys of the transition metals?
For example all steels.
What are the properties of high carbon?
High carbon steels are hard, strong and resistant to wear.
What is a torsion bar made of?
steel. but it must be resistant to weather and must be ablr to deform plastically. good metals would be stainless steel or magnesium alloy or medium - high carbon steels...
What do low alloy and high alloy steels contain?
carbon
