Introduction
Carbon steels are those that have carbon as the main alloying element. They also contain up to 0.4% silicon and 1.2% manganese. In addition, the residual elements such as copper, molybdenum, aluminium, chromium and nickel are present in these steels.
The following datasheet will give an overview of AISI 1049 carbon steel in detail.
