Is steel stronger than aluminum?

It heavily depends on which type of stainless steel you're referring to and what your definition of strong is. High carbon and perhaps plain carbon steels would be harder then austenite and ferritic stainless, but martensitic stainless would be harder then plain/high carbon. Austenite and ferritic stainless would be tougher and austenite would have have highest degree of corrosion resistance. I consider a steel to be "strong" if it has a balance of hardness and toughness in which case,I would say martensitic stainless steels.


What is the cost difference between normal carbon steel and killed carbon steel?

Not much, avaliability is the same also. Our default has changed to killed carbon steel.

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.

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.

What is plain carbon steel used for?

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 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.

What are the uses of carbon steel?

Carbon steel, also called plain carbon steel, is a malleable, iron-based metal containing carbon, small amounts of manganese, and other elements that are inherently present. Steels can either be cast to shape or wrought into various mill forms from which finished parts are formed, machined, forged, stamped, or otherwise shaped.
