Difference between air hardening and stainless steel?

There isn't really a difference since a piece of steel can both stainless and air hardened. Stainless steel is a steel alloy with a minimum of 10% chromium content by mass. Metals can be hardened in a variety of ways. They may be work hardened, tempered, air or oil hardened, for example. Tempering, or the systematic heating, cooling and reheating of a material is one technique that might be used to harden steel.


What is P1 Material?

P1 Material is the name given to Carbon Manganese Steel in the engineering industry


Is E52100 steel the same as 52100 chrome steel?

There appears to be a single specification for 52100 steel; SAE would not likely use the same number for two different steels. Carbon 0.98 - 1.1 Chromium 1.3 - 1.6 Iron Balance Manganese 0.25 - 0.45 Phosphorus 0.025 max Silicon 0.15 - 0.35 Sulphur 0.025 max from a supplier website. We don't use or specify this one ourselves, so have no personal knowledge. C.J.


What does A992Fy50 steel mean?

From wikiASTM A992 steel is a structural steel alloy often used in the USA for steel wide-flange beams (previously known as I-beams). Like other carbon steels, the density of ASTM A992 steel is approximately 7850 kg/m3. ASTM A992 steel has the following minimum mechanical properties, according to ASTM specification A992/A992M. Tensile yield strength, 345 MPa (50 ksi); tensile ultimate strength, 450 MPa (65 ksi); strain to rupture (sometimes called elongation) in a 200-mm-long test specimen, 18 %; strain to rupture in a 50-mm-long test specimen, 21 %.ASTM A992 is the industry standard for all structural wide-flange beams.From the American Institute of Steel Construction: "ASTM A992 (Fy = 50 ksi, Fu = 65 ksi) is the preferred material specification for wide-flange shapes, having replaced ASTM A36 and A572 grade 50. There are a couple of noteworthy enhancements with ASTM A992. Material ductility is well defined since a maximum yield-to-tensile strength ratio of 0.85 is specified. Additionally, weldability is improved since a maximum carbon equivalent value of 0.45 (0.47 for Group 4 and 5 shapes) is required. ASTM A992 is written to cover all hot-rolled shapes.


What is the formula to calculate the yield moment for a column?

My= As*Fy*Jd As= Area of steel reinforcement (tensile steel only) Fy= yield strength of steel Jd= moment arm

What is the difference between ms and cs steel?

MS stands for mild steel. This is steel than only has a small about of carbon. It's strong, but not easily tempered. CS stands for carbon steel. In carbon steel, the main alloying element is carbon.

Not much, avaliability is the same also. Our default has changed to killed carbon steel.


What is the difference between en8 and en24?

En8 is low carbon steel and it can be toughned. En24 is medium carbon steel and it is generally called forged steel.


How does Copper Sulfate react to carbon steel?

Copper sulfate can react with carbon steel to cause corrosion, as it is a corrosive agent. This reaction can lead to the formation of copper deposits on the steel surface, which can accelerate rusting and degradation of the steel. It is important to avoid exposing carbon steel to copper sulfate solutions to prevent this reaction.


What is the difference between high carbon steel and low carbon steel I know one has more carbon than the other?

Low carbon steel, is very soft, and can be easily shaped, but high carbon steel is extreamly stong and is used for springs or high strenght wire


What is the basic difference between CS and IT?

*Carbon steel, also called plain carbon steel or "Mild Steel", is steel where the main alloying constituent is carbon. The AISI defines carbon steel as: "Steel is considered to be carbon steel when no minimum content is specified or required for chromium, cobalt, columbium, molybdenum, nickel, titanium, tungsten, vanadium or zirconium, or any other element to be added to obtain a desired alloying effect; when the specified minimum for copper does not exceed 0.40 percent; or when the maximum content specified for any of the following elements does not exceed the percentages noted: manganese 1.65, silicon 0.60, copper 0.60. If it crosses limit as said, it will come under alloy steel. ASTM A 106 gr B is a carbon steel pipe and seamless Pipe for High Temperature Service. So, it will be a mild steel comes under carbon steel category.


The main difference between cast-iron and steel?

Steel is an alloy of carbon and iron. If the percentage of carbon is more than 2% then it is called cast iron.


Is steel a useful alloy of copper and tin?

Steel is actually an alloy of iron and carbon, not copper and tin. Copper and tin are used to create bronze, a separate alloy that is also useful for its strength and corrosion resistance.

Is stainless steel harder than steel?

Stainless steel is a steel-chromium alloy that is more resistant to corrosion than carbon-steel or other steel alloys. As with all steel, it strength depends on its grade; but overall the strength difference between carbon steel and stainless steel is negligible.


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."
