Martensitic stainless steels make up the cutlery grades. They have the least amount of chromium, offer high hardenability, and require both pre- and postheating when welding to prevent cracking in ...
For the most part, we're talking about stainless steel here, the most important commercial high-alloy steel. Stainless steels are at least 12 percent chromium and many have high nickel contents. ...
Their carbon content is usually below 0.25 percent and often below 0.15 percent. Typical alloys include nickel, chromium, molybdenum, manganese, and silicon, which add strength at room temperatures ...
These steels usually are iron with less than 1 percent carbon, plus small amounts of manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and silicon. The weldability and other characteristics of these steels are ...
Composition of 0.96%-2.1% carbon. Its high carbon content makes it an extremely strong material, though it is brittle and requires special handling.
Composition of 0.55%-0.95% carbon with 0.30%-0.90% manganese. It is very strong and holds shape memory well, making it ideal for springs and wire.
Composition of 0.29%-0.54% carbon with 0.60%-1.65% manganese. Medium carbon steel is ductile and strong with good wear properties.
