Carbon Steels
Materials science; Metallurgy
Which can include High Carbon Steel and High Alloy Steel, are the softest and usually the cheapest of the seven types we offer. Many woodworking tools are made from this ...
Mild Steel
Materials science; Metallurgy
Mild steel is made of low carbon components of ingot iron. This is a chemically pure type of iron which is heated with coke and gypsum or lime at high temperatures in a blast ...
Alloy Steel
Materials science; Metallurgy
Alloy steels contain alloying elements (e.g. manganese, silicon, nickel, titanium, copper, chromium and aluminum) in varying proportions in order to manipulate the steel's ...
Medium Carbon Steel
Materials science; Metallurgy
Composition of 0.29%-0.54% carbon with 0.60%-1.65% manganese. Medium carbon steel is ductile and strong with good wear properties.
High Carbon Steel
Materials science; Metallurgy
Composition of 0.55%-0.95% carbon with 0.30%-0.90% manganese. It is very strong and holds shape memory well, making it ideal for springs and wire.
Very High Carbon Steel
Materials science; Metallurgy
Composition of 0.96%-2.1% carbon. Its high carbon content makes it an extremely strong material, though it is brittle and requires special handling.
Plain Carbon Steels
Materials science; Metallurgy
These steels usually are iron with less than 1 percent carbon, plus small amounts of manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and silicon. The weldability and other characteristics of these ...
