Carbon steels are designated by AISI four-digit numbers. They contain carbon as the major alloying element. Molybdenum, chromium, aluminium, copper, and nickel are present in traces. In addition to these, they also contain 0.4% silicon and 1.2% manganese.
The AISI 1010 carbon steel is a plain carbon steel with 0.10% carbon content. This steel has relatively low strength but it can be quenched and tempered to increase strength.
Carbon steels are steels that contain only carbon as their main alloying element. Traces of 0.4% silicon and 1.2% manganese can also be found in these steels. Carbon steels also contain small quantities of copper, nickel, molybdenum, aluminium and chromium.
Carbon steels have only carbon as the alloying element. They also contain up to 0.4% silicon and 1.2% manganese.
Carbon steels are steels having only carbon as the main alloying element. They are designated by AISI four-digit numbers, and contain 0.4% of silicon and 1.2% of manganese.
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 are designated by AISI four-digit numbers. They contain different kinds of steels having compositions which exceed the limitations of Mn, C, Mo, Si, Ni, Va, and B set for carbon steels. They are more responsive to the mechanical and heat treatments.

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.
