Steel with a carbon content above 2.0% is considered cast iron so the limit is 2.0%. Grey cast iron starting at 2.5% is basically a mix of ferrite carbides and graphite. Going higher above cast iron is pure carbide or Fe3C at 6.1%. Above that and it's basically a mix of iron graphites.

What is class 150 carbon steel?

Class 150 is a pressure class rating for flanges and fittings that indicates the maximum pressure at which they can safely operate. Carbon steel is a type of steel alloy primarily composed of carbon and iron, known for its high strength and durability. When a component is specified as class 150 carbon steel, it means that it is designed to withstand pressures at class 150 while being made of carbon steel material.

What mild steel?

It is the most common form of steel. It is not brittle. It is cheap. It is often used when large amounts of steel are needed. Mild steel is a carbon steel typically with a maximum of 0.25% Carbon and 0.4%-0.7% manganese, 0.1%-0.5% Silicon and some + traces of other elements such as phosphorous, it may also contain lead (free cutting mild steel) or sulphur (again free cutting steel called re-sulphurised mild steel) Many everyday objects are made of mild steel, even some of your pots and pans are. Mild steel (a so-called carbon steel) is a general term for a range of low carbon (a maximum of about 0.3%) steels that have good strength and can be bent, worked or can be welded into an endless variety of shapes for uses from vehicles (like cars and ships) to building materials

What is spherodising?

Carbon steel, also called plain-carbon steel, is steel where the main alloying constituent is carbon


What is the basic difference between CS and IT?

*Carbon steel, also called plain carbon steel or "Mild Steel", is steel where the main alloying constituent is carbon. The AISI defines carbon steel as: "Steel is considered to be carbon steel when no minimum content is specified or required for chromium, cobalt, columbium, molybdenum, nickel, titanium, tungsten, vanadium or zirconium, or any other element to be added to obtain a desired alloying effect; when the specified minimum for copper does not exceed 0.40 percent; or when the maximum content specified for any of the following elements does not exceed the percentages noted: manganese 1.65, silicon 0.60, copper 0.60. If it crosses limit as said, it will come under alloy steel. ASTM A 106 gr B is a carbon steel pipe and seamless Pipe for High Temperature Service. So, it will be a mild steel comes under carbon steel category.


Is carbon steel a non ferrous metal?

No, carbon steel is a ferrous metal because it contains iron as the primary alloying element along with carbon. Ferrous metals are those that contain iron as a major component, whereas non-ferrous metals do not contain iron.
