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.
Stainless steel grades?
The stainless steel grades includes carbon steel, manganese steel, nickel steel, nickel-chromium steel, and molybdenum steel. The content of carbon in the different steel grades varies.
What is the DIN equivalent of ASTM A615?
ASTM A615 is the Standard Specification for Deformed and Plain Carbon-Steel Bars, the equivalent in German standards are DIN 17100 & DIN 488.

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 spherodising?
Carbon steel, also called plain-carbon steel, is steel where the main alloying constituent is carbon
What are the applications of plain carbon steel?
http://www.processsystems.sandvik.com/ the answer is there
What is the eutectoid point of plain carbon steel?
Eutectiod steel is 0.83% carbon within steel, Eutectiod steel is where the microstructure is completly pearlite. and no ferrite or cementite.
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 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 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)
What is the difference between steel grade WCB and WCC?
WCC steel is a high grade cast plain carbon steel. It is of a higher grade, quality, and price than WCB steel.
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
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.
When water is used for quenching a plain carbon steel and maximum hardness is required what temperature should the water be?
55 degrees.
