  2. Alloy of iron and carbon
    • According to 2 sources
    Carbon steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, with a carbon content of up to 2.1 wt.%. Unlike other types of steel, carbon steel does not have a minimum requirement for other alloying elements, but it often contains manganese.

    Carbon Steel: The Ultimate …

    engineeringclicks.com
    Carbon steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, with a carbon content ranging from 0.04% to 2.1%, depending on the grade. Carbon steel can be classified into four main types, based on the carbon content and the microstructure: low carbon steel, medium carbon steel, high carbon steel, and ultra-high carbon steel.

    What is the difference between carbon steel and other types of steel?
    Carbon steel is a special type of steel that, as the name suggests, has a higher concentration of carbon than other types of steel. Most types of steel have a relatively low carbon content of about 0.05% to 0.3%. In comparison, carbon steel has a carbon content of up to 2.5%.

    Pros and Cons of Carbon Steel: What You Should Know

    What are the pros and cons of carbon steel?
    The use of carbon makes iron — or steel — stronger by shuffling around its crystal latice. While carbon steel can still stress and break under pressure, it’s less likely to occur than with other types of steel. This makes carbon steel particularly effective in applications where strength is needed.

    What are the uses of carbon steel?
    Carbon steel is used in boilers, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, piping, and other moderate-temperature service systems in which good strength and ductility are desired. Significant other factors include cost, availability, and the ease of fabrication.

    What are the benefits of carbon steel?
    There are several advantages to choosing carbon steel over traditional steel, one of which is increased strength. The use of carbon makes iron — or steel — stronger by shuffling around its crystal latice. While carbon steel can still stress and break under pressure, it’s less likely to occur than with other types of steel.

    Carbon steel - Wikipedia

    Carbon steel is a steel with carbon content from about 0.05 up to 2.1 percent by weight. The definition of carbon steel from the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) states: no minimum content is specified or required for chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, … See more

    Properties

    Carbon steel is often divided into two main categories: low-carbon steel and high-carbon steel. It may also contain other elements, such as manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, … See more

    AISI classification

    The following classification method is based on the American AISI/SAE standard. Other international standards including DIN (Germany), GB (China), BS/EN (UK), AFNOR (France), UNI … See more

    Case hardening

    Case hardening processes harden only the exterior of the steel part, creating a hard, wear-resistant skin (the "case") but preserving a tough and ductile interior. Carbon steels are not very hardenable meaning they can not be hardened throughout thick … See more

    Heat treatment

    The purpose of heat treating carbon steel is to change the mechanical properties of steel, usually ductility, hardness, yield strength, or impact resistance. Note that the electrical and thermal conductivity are only slightly altered. As with most strengthening … See more
