Describe and explain how the differences in the properties of the thee main types of steel allow them to be used in different ways. I have some chemistry homework due in for tomorrow (yes I know i left it a bit late but I really don't like chemistry) and I would love it if I could actually at least pretend to my teacher that I know what she's on about this lesson because honestly, I really don't know what she spends so long telling us all. Any help would be appreciated and points for the best answer!
Steel is basically Iron with Carbon! The higher the % of Carbon, the stronger the steel, but the less tensile (Bendy) strength it will have!
Hi, Three Main Types of Steel: 1. Carbon Steel Used in making axes, swords, scissors,cutting tools, vehicle frames. Depends on the % of carbon used how soft the steel will be. 2. Stainless Steel Used in the making of crockery, wrist watches, kitchen utensils, cutlery and surgical equipment. Contains different 11% chromium and some % of nickel. 3. Alloy Steel. Used in making drilling parts, vehicle airplane parts. Stainless steel is also alloy steel but, alloy steel with % of other metals is classified separately.
Steel Uses And Properties
TYPES OF STEEL: CARBON STEEL ============= Steels containing 0.2% C to 1.5% C are known as carbon steel. They are of three types. Low Carbon Steel It contains 0.2% carbon. Uses: Sheets, wires, pipes. Mild Carbon Steel It contains 0.3% to 0.7% carbon. Uses: Rails, boilers, plates, axles, structures. High Carbon Steel It contains 0.7% to 1.5% carbon. Uses: Surgical instruments, razor blades, cutlery, spring. STAINLESS STEEL =============== It contains 14% to 18% chromium and 7% to 9% nickel. Uses: Car accessories, watch case, utensils, cutlery. ALLOY STEEL ============= There are three types of alloy steel. Mn-Steel It contains 10%-18% Mn. Uses: Rail tracks, armor plate, safe. Si-Steel It contains 1% to 5% Si. Uses: Permanent magnet. Ni-Steel It contains 2% to 4% Ni. Uses: Machine components, Gear, shaft, cable. :) Ref. www.google .in/search?q=wikiso...
