carbon steel

listen to the pronunciation of carbon steel
English - English
Any of a range of alloys of iron and carbon whose properties depend on the proportion of carbon
A steel which owes its distinctive properties chiefly to the various percentages of carbon (as distinguished from the other elements) which it contains
an alloy of iron containing up to about 1 5% carbon
Steel which is essentially iron plus carbon with no intentionally added alloy Also known as ordinary steel, straight carbon steel, or plain carbon steel
Used for twist drills and machine bit Has 0 6 to 1 8 % carbon content
Steel is commonly considered to be carbon steel when the following are specified
Steel deriving its qualities from carbon chiefly, without the presence of other alloying elements; opposed to alloy steel
A steel that is tough but malleable and contains a small percentage of carbon The inner barrier of waste packages is composed of carbon steel
Alloy of iron and carbon in which the carbon content may range from less than
An alloy of iron and carbon, with varying small proportions of other materials such as manganese, silicon and copper
Steel that has properties made up mostly of the element carbon and which relies on the carbon content for structure Most of the steel produced in the world is carbon steel
steel whose characteristics are determined by the amount of carbon it contains
Steel having no specified minimum quality for any alloying element (other than the commonly accepted amounts of manganese, silicon, and copper) and that contains only an incidental amount of any element other than carbon, silicon, manganese, copper, sulfur and phosphorus
Steel which owes its properties chiefly to carbon without substantial amounts of other alloying elements; also known as straight carbon steel or plain carbon steel
015% to slightly more than 2%. Adding this tiny amount of carbon produces a material that exhibits great strength, hardness, and other valuable mechanical properties. Carbon steels account for about 90% of the world's steel production. They are used extensively for automobile bodies, appliances, machinery, ships, containers, and the structures of buildings. Carbon steel, formerly made by the Bessemer, crucible, or open-hearth process, is now made by the basic oxygen process, or by an arc furnace
steel owing its properties principally to its carbon content; ordinary, unalloyed steel
Ordinary steel made by melting iron or ferrous scrap with carbon, manganese, sulfur, silicon, and phosphorous (see STEEL)
