carbon steels are steels which contain upto 2% carbon and some other trace elements such as silicon, manganese etc.,

Tool steels have greater amount of alloying than the alloy steels of iron. alloying elemnts include chromium, tungsten, molybdenum, carbon, vanadium, nitrogen in the form of nitrides, manganese, silicon, cobalt.

These two mainly differ in the pattern in which they are manufactured. tool steels are manufactured from electric furnace techniques where as most carbon steels are manufactured from conventional melting processes. This is done to exhibit good alloy characteristics and impart greater refined structure which cannot be obtained from the conventional say a cuppola furnace or a bessemer furnace.

The benefit of high speed steel?

High Speed Steel is not a type of steel. It is a designation given to any tool that is capable of cutting into or through steel at high speed. A drill bit for example. Refer to the question "What is the difference between mild steel and high speed steel" for a more thorough answer.


Is stainless steel harder than steel?

Stainless steel is a steel-chromium alloy that is more resistant to corrosion than carbon-steel or other steel alloys. As with all steel, it strength depends on its grade; but overall the strength difference between carbon steel and stainless steel is negligible.


How difference between stainless steel and carbon steel?

carbon steel is iron with "structured" carbon which make iron strong (hard). stainless steel is steel with different percentage contain of aluminium, nickel, chrome... which give the steel different kind of other characteristics including "stainless- the ability of not getting rusted."


What the difference between steel and cast iron with reference to their carbon percentage and hardness?

The amount of carbon in iron is greater than 2 percent. Iron, steel is more difficult. Steel is more resistant to damage from iron.
