Steel types and explain all

Question

Accepted Answer

Steel types are classified based on their composition and properties.

Carbon Steel: Contains primarily carbon and iron. Examples include low carbon steel, medium carbon steel, and high carbon steel.
Alloy Steel: Contains additional elements such as manganese, nickel, chromium, or molybdenum to enhance properties. Examples include stainless steel, tool steel, and high-strength low-alloy steel.
Stainless Steel: Contains a minimum of 10.5% chromium, providing corrosion resistance. Examples include austenitic, ferritic, and martensitic stainless steels.
Tool Steel: Designed for making tools, with high hardness, wear resistance, and toughness. Examples include high-speed steel and die steel.
High-Strength Low-Alloy Steel (HSLA): Offers improved mechanical properties and higher resistance to atmospheric corrosion. Examples include weathering steel and structural steel.
Cast Iron: Contains a higher carbon content than steel, making it more brittle. Examples include gray iron, ductile iron, and white iron.
