How should alloy steel and carbon steel be distinguished?
Steel containing other alloying elements is alloy steel. The total content of alloying elements can reach 10~28%, which is high alloy steel. Alloy steel is a steel in which in addition to iron and the five natural elements, other alloying elements are added artificially to change or improve certain characteristics of the steel, such as Cr, Ni, Mn, Mo, etc. In addition to iron and carbon, some other metals are added to alloy steel to change the properties of the material. The function of chromium (cr) is to make steel corrosion-resistant, and the function of nickel (ni) is to reduce the austenitization temperature of stainless steel.
Carbon steel does not contain other alloying elements; carbon steel is also steel with a carbon content of less than 1.35%. Carbon steel, that is, in addition to iron elements, the material generally only contains five natural elements: carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus and sulfur, and no other alloying elements are added.
