It depends in the type of Stainless material grade. Each grade has different percentage of elements such as carbon, nickel, chromium,etc. If you look in the ASME Code on materials. I believe Section I, it will tell you about metals and alloys. If you look in Section IX it will tell you about welding procedures etc etc. Another Code that may asssist you is the ASTM. American System of Testing Materials

The percentage of carbon in steel typically ranges from 0.2% to 2.1%. The carbon content in steel affects its strength, hardness, and other mechanical properties. The specific carbon content will depend on the grade and type of steel being used.

the main reason might be that the percentage of carbon increase the hardness of material (steel ) and ductility would decrease


What is differentiate between steel and Cast iron with reference to their carbon percentage and hardness?

iron with 1.5% of carbon by volume or less is called carbon steel and above 1.5% it is called cast iron, hardmess increases with the carbon % i.e. cast iron is harder than carbon steel


How difference between stainless steel and carbon steel?

carbon steel is iron with "structured" carbon which make iron strong (hard). stainless steel is steel with different percentage contain of aluminium, nickel, chrome... which give the steel different kind of other characteristics including "stainless- the ability of not getting rusted."

Low carbon steel is steel with low carbon. High carbon steel is steel with high carbon


Percentage of carbon in stainless steel?

This depends on the type of stainless steel. I've seen stainless steel 303 with <=0.15% carbon, which I think is typical. If you have a specific type of stainless steel that you want to know the carbon content for you can get a pretty good idea by using matweb.com


What are Low carbon steel properties?

Low carbon steel has about 0.05% to 0.25% carbon content that is combined with iron. When compared with steel with higher carbon content, its properties are that it is relatively softer, less strong, more malleable, easy to shape, and has a higher melting point. Generally speaking the strength and hardness of steel increases with the percentage of carbon in the alloy.


What the difference between steel and cast iron with reference to their carbon percentage and hardness?

The amount of carbon in iron is greater than 2 percent. Iron, steel is more difficult. Steel is more resistant to damage from iron.
