Introduction
Carbon steels are steels that have carbon as the chief alloying element. They have up to 0.4% silicon and 1.2% manganese. In addition, the residual elements such as nickel, chromium, aluminum, molybdenum and copper are present in these steels.
The following section will give an overview of the AISI 1513 carbon steel.
