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.

Is carbon steel a non ferrous metal?
High carbon steel is a metal.The addition of carbon makes the steel harder after heat treatment.
Which two types of steel appear to have their properties combined in tempered steel?
Tempered steel has both strength and the ability to change form under the right amount of pressure. Tempered steel can be made from both low carbon and high carbon steels.
Are winds stronger near a high pressure area or a low pressure area?
low pressure
What is the hardness value for carbon?
the hardness vlaue of carbon very much depends on the value of the hardness of the carbon. if it is a high value then the hardness is high however if it is a low value then it is a low hardness helpful??? :D
Is low carbon steel a ferrous?
Yes, any steel is a ferrous metal. Ferrous metals are any metals that have Iron in them.ferrous minerals example:iron,bauxite................etc
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
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.
Is diamond stronger than low carbon steel?
Yes.
What is the difference between high carbon steel and low carbon steel I know one has more carbon than the other?
Low carbon steel, is very soft, and can be easily shaped, but high carbon steel is extreamly stong and is used for springs or high strenght wire
What are the Limitations of plain carbon steels for engineering applications?
There are 4 they are Low Carbon steel, Medium Carbon Steel, High Carbon Steel and Eutectiod
What is KSF60 steel?
KSF60 is carbon. low alloy , high tensile forged steel.
Is carbon steel a non ferrous metal?
High carbon steel is a metal.The addition of carbon makes the steel harder after heat treatment.
What type of steel is spring steel?
Spring steel is a low alloy, medium carbon steel or high carbon steel with a very high yield strength. This allows objects made of spring steel to return to their original shape despite significant bending or twisting.Applications include piano wire, spring clamps, antennas, and springs.
ASTM A 487 is it carbon steel?
A 487 is a high strength low alloy steel. there is nothing such as a carbon steel .iron becomes steel only when carbon is added to it.steel itself is an alloy of iron and carbon.hence the term carbon steel is wrong it is just steel.
Is low carbon STEEL magnetic?
Anti-magnetic high manganese steels are just that.
What welding rods do you use for welding bennox plate?
bennox is a high carbon steel material so low hydrogen or carbon steel electrodes are recommended
How can steel cutting tools be used to shape steel objects?
Steel cutting tools that are hardened by tempering them can cut softer, untempered steel. Steel that is high in carbon content can be made tougher than low-carbon steel.
