The difference between alloy steel and carbon steel one, steel definition: steel according to its carbon content and the content of alloy composition differences, can be divided into carbon steel and alloy steel. Also refers to the iron molybdenum, vanadium, titanium, copper, tungsten, aluminum, cobalt, niobium, zirconium and other elements, etc.), some stillcontain some nonmetalic elements (such as boron, nitrogen, etc.) of the steel. According to the amount of alloying elements in the steel, it can be divided into low alloy steel, medium alloy steel and high alloy steel. Steel refers to the steel in addition to contain a certain amount of silicon for deoxidation and meddling (generally not across

0.40%) and manganese(generally not across 0.80%, high content can reach 1.20%) and other alloying elements, wthout other alloying elements (except residual elements) of the steel. According to the content of concave and conve>

and can be divided into low carbon steel(carbon content is generally less than 0.25%), Medium carbon steel (carbon content between 0.25% and 0.60%); High carbon steel (about 0.60% carbon content). But there is no hard border between them. Two, the definition of alloy steel: containing other aloy elements of steel is alloy steel The total content of aloying elements can reach 10-28%, which is high alloy steel Alloy steel is a steelin which in addition to iron and natural elements, other aloying elements are added to change or improve some of the characteristics of the steel. Such as CrNiMnMoVB, etc. Alloy steel contains other metals besides iron and carbon to alter the behavior of the material. Chromium effect is to make steel corrosion resistance, nickel effect is to reduce the austenitizing temperature of stainless steel. Three, carbon steel definition: carbon steel does not contain other alloy elements. Carbon steel also contains less than 1.35% carbon. Carbon steel, that is, in addition to iron, the guessed material generally only carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus and sulfur this five years of natural elements, and no other alloy elements. Four, the difference between alloy steel and carbon steel: carbon steel does not contain useful alloying elements, with iron, carbon, manganese as the primary element of the alloy. Machinery is generally inferior to alloy steel. In adlition, the price of carbon steel is much lower than the alloy seamless steel tube lattice, from the above 2 points gusu alloy steel suppliers believe that the function of alloy steel beyond carbon steel is the most important diference.
