  2. Wrought iron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrought_iron

    Wrought iron is an iron alloy with a very low carbon content (less than 0.05%) in contrast to that of cast iron (2.1% to 4.5%). It is a semi-fused mass of iron with fibrous slag inclusions (up to 2% by weight), which give it a wood-like "grain" that is visible when it is etched, rusted, or bent to failure.

  3. Carbon steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_steel

    Carbon steel is often divided into two main categories: low-carbon steel and high-carbon steel. It may also contain other elements, such as manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and silicon, which can affect its properties. Carbon steel can be easily machined and welded, making it versatile for various applications.

  4. Structural material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_material

    Stainless steel is an iron-carbon alloy with a minimum of 10.5% chromium content. There are different types of stainless steel, containing different proportions of iron, carbon, molybdenum, nickel. It has similar structural properties to steel, although its strength varies significantly.

  5. Stress–strain curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress–strain_curve

    A schematic diagram for the stress–strain curve of low carbon steel at room temperature is shown in figure 1. There are several stages showing different behaviors, which suggests different mechanical properties. To clarify, materials can miss one or more stages shown in figure 1, or have totally different stages.

  6. Tool steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_steel

    1.11–1.30% carbon: files, small drills, lathe tools, razor blades, and other light-duty applications where more wear resistance is required without great toughness. Steel of about 0.8% C gets as hard as steel with more carbon, but the free iron carbide particles in 1% or 1.25% carbon steel make it hold an edge better.

  7. Ferromanganese - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferromanganese

    After a variety of mixing and melting steps to reduce the silicon content, a low-carbon alloy with less than 0.8% carbon and 1% silicon by weight can be obtained. In the oxygen refinement method, HCFM is melted and heated to a high temperature of 1,750 °C (3,180 °F). Oxygen is then blown in to oxidise the carbon into CO and CO 2. The ...

  8. Martensitic stainless steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martensitic_stainless_steel

    Martensitic stainless steels can be high- or low-carbon steels built around the composition of iron, 12% up to 17% chromium, carbon from 0.10% (Type 410) up to 1.2% (Type 440C): [9] Up to about 0.4%C they are used mostly for their mechanical properties in applications such as pumps, valves, and shafts.

  9. A572 steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A572_steel

    ASTM A572 steel is a common high strength, low alloy (HSLA) structural steel used in the United States. [1] A572 steel properties are specified by ASTM International standards. [ 2 ]
