what is the difference between boiler plate steel &carbon steel?
No there is no difference in grinding machine, though the clamping system may be different as carbon steel is held commonly by magnetic chucks/clamps while for some non magnetic grades of stainless steel( Austentitic stainless steels) mechanical/hydraulic/alternate clamping may be required.
Well cast iron will weigh a tonne and a half for a wok. Cast aluminum's not bad.

There is no difference. Boiler plate steel is carbon steel of a grade and specification approved by the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
First, boiler plate is a type of carbon steel. Second, when someone asks for boiler plate it usually means (in the US) a plate certified by ASME to use in the construction of boilers such as SA516-xx, SA515-xx, SA285-x, etc. These grades of carbon steel must meet specific chemical and mechanical requirements in order to be used in boilers or pressure vessels. The different grades have varying tensile and yield strengths and also grain size. They are designed to be used for a combination of pressure/temperature ratings. For example, it is acceptable to use SA36 in the construction of a boiler/pressure vessel. However, the SA36 will not be capable of the same pressure/temperature ratings that SA285-x could withstand. Nor could the SA285-x withstand as much as the SA516-xx material. As you go up in grade, the cost of the material also rises. Hope this helped.
