Introduction
Carbon steels are steels that contain carbon as the main alloying element. They also contain up to 0.4% silicon and 1.2% manganese. In addition, residual elements such as copper, molybdenum, aluminum, chromium and nickel are present in these steels.
The following datasheet will discuss AISI 1330 carbon steel in greater detail.
