Carbon steels contain carbon as the specific alloying element. They also contain 1.2% manganese and 0.4% silicon. In addition to carbon, they also contain copper, nickel, molybdenum, and aluminium as residual elements.
Following the release of the 2nd edition of ‘Characterization of Materials’, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Elton N. Kaufmann talks to AZoM.

Stainless steels are high-alloy steels that possess good corrosion resistance in comparison with other steels because they contain more chromium.
Stainless steels are high-alloy steels with good corrosion resistance due to large amounts of chromium present in them. Most of the stainless steels contain about 10% of chromium.
Stainless steels are known as high-alloy steels. These steels are available in four groups that include martensitic, austenitic, ferritic and precipitation-hardened steels. These groups are formed based on the crystalline structure of stainless steels.

Stainless steels are known as high-alloy steels. They are divided into four groups that include martensitic, austenitic, ferritic and precipitation-hardened steels.
Stainless steels have high corrosion resistance when compared to other steels due to the presence of large amounts of chromium. Based on their crystalline structure, they are further divided in to ferritic, austenitic, and martensitic steels.
Stainless steels are high-alloy steels which have high corrosion resistance than other steels owing to the presence of large amounts of chromium in the range of 4 to 30%. Stainless steels are classified into martensitic, ferritic and austenitic based on their crystalline structure.
