Carbon steels are steels having only carbon as the chief alloying element. Residual elements such as copper, chromium, molybdenum, nickel, and aluminium are present in traces. They also contain 1.2% of manganese and 0.4% of silicon.
Alloy steels are designated by AISI four-digit numbers. They contain different kinds of steels having compositions which exceed the limitations of B, C, Mn, Mo, Ni, Si, Cr, and Va set for carbon steels.

Alloy steels contain different varieties of steels exceeding the composition limits of Mn, C, Mo, Si, Ni, Va, and B set for carbon steels. They are designated by AISI four-digit numbers.
Alloy steels contain elements such as chromium, cobalt, nickel, etc. These steels can be subjected to unique melting and deoxidization processes for specific kind of applications.
Aluminum alloys have strong corrosion resistance and are sensitive to high temperatures ranging between 200 and 250°C (392 and 482°F).
Aluminum alloys have strong corrosion resistance. They are sensitive to high temperatures ranging between 200 and 250°C (392 and 482°F) and might lose some of their strength.
Aluminum alloys have high electrical conductivity and strong corrosion resistance characteristics. These alloys are good low-temperature alloys. They gain strength when exposed to subzero temperatures and lose strength when exposed to high temperatures.
