Medium carbon steel, Example of application

Cables and wires Guitar strings Train tracks

Low Carbon steel or mild steel, Example of application

Cans for drop off supplies Majority of car components

Pure Iron; Example of Application

Decorative balcony fences

High carbon steel, Example of Application

High strength bar Tire reinforcements Steels for forging

Low carbon steel is also known as

Mild Steel

Low carbon steel or mild steel, Distinguishing properties

Most common steel No strong compared to other steel can be Bent without breaking Bends to absorb the pressure Easy to weld w/o damaging properties

Cast iron, examples of application

Pots and pans

Classification of Steel

Pure Iron Low Carbon Steel Medium Carbon Steel High Carbon Steel Cast Iron

High carbon steel, distinguishing properties

Rigid and almost cannot bend w/o breaking Good for sharp objects but chips easily Heat-treatable to improve strength Good wear-resistance Reduced weldability and impact strength

Pure Iron; Distinguishing properties

Softest product Can be bent into any shape Hardens a little if bent (*ROT IRON)

Medium carbon steel, distinguishing properties

Strong and hard to bent(bend) High tensile strength and ductility Brittle

Cast iron, distinguishing properties

Very hard that only few can scratch Very brittle that can be broken once dropped Doesn't rust Not made to be painted Distributes heat evenly over its surface
