The definition of carbon steel and steel Five Elements
2% carbon iron-carbon alloy known as steel.
Carbon steel in the chemical composition of five elements is the main component in the material, that is, C, Si, Mn, S, P (carbon, silicon, manganese, sulfur, phosphorus). Second, at the steel-making process will inevitably mixed gases, including O, H, N (oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen). In addition, the aluminum - silicon-oxygen sedation process, certainly in the steel containing Al, when the Als (Als) ≥ 0. 020%, there are still grain refinement effect.
Also known as non-alloy steel carbon steel, according to the carbon content is divided into low-carbon steel (carbon content of less than 0.25%), medium carbon steel (carbon content of 0.25% -0.60%) and high-carbon steel (carbon content of large at 0.60%).
Classification of Steel
Steel is the carbon content between 0.04% -2.3% of the iron-carbon alloy. In order to ensure its toughness and ductility, carbon content of not more than 1.7%. The main elements of steel, iron, carbon, there are silicon, manganese, sulfur and phosphorus. Classification of steel variety, the main method has the following seven:
Classification according to chemical composition
Carbon Steel: Low carbon steel (C ≤ 0.25%); in carbon (C ≤ 0.25-0.60%); high-carbon steel (C ≤ 0.60%).
