How should alloy steel and carbon steel be distinguished?
What is alloy steel?
Alloy steel: In addition to silicon and manganese as alloying elements or deoxidizing elements, steel also contains other alloying elements (such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, vanadium, titanium, copper, tungsten, aluminum, cobalt, niobium, zirconium and other elements etc.), and some steels contain certain non-metallic elements (such as boron, nitrogen, etc.). According to the content of alloy elements in steel, it can be divided into low alloy steel, medium alloy steel and high alloy steel.
What is carbon steel?
Carbon steel: refers to steel that contains a certain amount of silicon (generally not more than 0.40%) and manganese (usually not more than 0.80%, higher content can be up to 1.20%) and other alloying elements added for deoxidation. Steel with other alloying elements (other than residual elements). Mainly used in various projects, important machine parts and making various small tools. According to the content, it can be roughly divided into low carbon steel (carbon content is generally less than 0.25%); medium carbon steel (carbon content is generally between 0.25% and 0.60%); high carbon steel (carbon content is generally between 0.25% and 0.60%). night at 0.60%). But there are no strict boundaries between them.
