The various uses of carbon steel depend on the amount of carbon added to the alloy; for instance, carbon steel with the lowest amount of carbon is called wrought iron and is used for things like Fencing. Medium-carbon steel, also called mild steel, is the type of steel that is used for structural purposes in buildings and bridges. High-carbon steel is used for springs and steel wires, while ultra-high carbon steel is called cast iron and is often used to make pots.

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 is 4140 mild steel?
I think you're looking at two separate terms. SAE 4140 steel is a Chromium-Molybdenum steel used extensively for axles, aerospace concerns, and firearm manufacture. Mild steel is a catch-all term for plain carbon steel of low carbon content (such as SAE 1018) which is generally cheap, not heat-treatable, and used for fairly low-strain applications. I hope that helps. Mike Source - Machinery's Handbook, 11th Edition, 1943

What is the limitation of plain carbon steel?
poor corrosion resistance
What is the eutectoid point of plain carbon steel?
The eutectoid point of plain carbon steel is approximately 0.76% carbon content. At this composition, the steel undergoes a phase transformation from austenite to a mixture of ferrite and cementite during cooling, resulting in the formation of pearlite microstructure.
When water is used for quenching a plain carbon steel and maximum hardness is required what temperature should the water be?
55 degrees.
Why is structural steel stronger than plain carbon steel?
Carbon steel due to the formation of pearlite layers of very weak and fragile, but the structural steel due to the strong molecular bonds are
What is 50c8 steel?
50c8 is a variant of a plain carbon steel. You can refer any Enginnering Materials reference book to know more about it.
What is density of steel in g cm3?
The most common steel is mild steel, also called plain-carbon steel. It's density is approximately 7.85g/cm3. (Wikipedia)
Is plain carbon steel ferrous or nonferrous?
High carbon steel is an alloy and is ferrous; the terms ferrous and non-ferrous are not restricted to elements only, but also used for alloys that are predominantly one or more of the ferrous metals (iron, cobalt, and nickel.).
Is carbon steel the same as mild steel?
both of these are same In some places they are used interchangeabl low carbon steel has 0.05-0.15% carbon mild carbon steel has0.16-0.29% carbon http://www.metalsupplies.com/
Where on a motor vehicle would low carbon steel be used?
Yes. Low carbon steel is used in the body of the car.
