STEEL
>CARBON STEEL
low carbon steel (mild steel)
– bendable
– machine support, base, and bracket
– CARBON CONTENT: .04-0.30%
medium carbon steel
– machinery parts
– CARBON CON TENT: 0.31-0.60%
high carbon steel (carbon tool steel)
– cutting tool
– very difficult to cut and bend
– extremely hard
– CARBON CONTENT: .61-1.5%

>ALLOY STEEL
