Write down the composition and application of carbon steel |
|
Answer» CARBON steel is an alloy consisting of iron and carbon. Several other elements are allowed in carbon steel, with low maximum percentages. These elements are manganese, with a 1.65% maximum, SILICON, with a 0.60% maximum, and copper, with a 0.60% maximum. Other elements may be present in quantities too small to affect its properties.the hardness of plain carbon steel INCREASES progressively with increase in carbon CONTENT, so that generally the low-and medium carbon steel are used for constructional work, WHILST the high carbon steels are used for the manufacture of tools and other components where hardness and wear-resistance are necessary.
