- metal comprising mainly of iron and carbon with additional alloying elements such as manganese, chromium, or vanadium thus exhibiting excellent properties
A material containing Iron carbon (less than 2%), Silicon, Manganese plus Alloy elements like Chromium, Vanadium, Molybdenium, Tungsten, Nickel, Lead, Naboium, Copper etc
Steel containing specified quantities of alloying elements (other than carbon and the commonly accepted amounts of manganese, copper, silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus) within the limits recognized for constructional alloy steels, added to effect changes in mechanical or physical properties
An iron-based mixture is considered to be an alloy steel when manganese is greater than 1 65%, silicon over 0 5%, copper above 0 6%, or other minimum quantity of alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, or tungsten An enormous variety of distinct properties can be created for the steel by substituting these elements in the recipe
A steel to which one or more alloying elements other than carbon have been deliberately added (e g chromium, nickel, molybdenum) to achieve a particular physical property
Steel containing significant quantities of alloying elements (other than carbon and the commonly accepted amounts of manganese, silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus) added to effect changes in the mechanical or physical properties
Steel containing significant quantities of alloying elements other than carbon and the commonly accepted amounts of manganese, silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus
