Basic introduction to carbon steel plates and stainless steel plates
Carbon steel plate is a kind of steel containing carbon element. Its carbon content is generally less than 0.5%. It is mainly composed of iron and carbon, and may also contain other elements. Stainless steel plate is a kind of alloy steel that is not easy to rust. Its main components are alloys of iron, nickel, chromium, manganese and other elements.
The difference between carbon steel plate and stainless steel plate
1. Different corrosion properties
Carbon steel plates are susceptible to corrosion, oxidation, etc., and can easily rust. Stainless steel is not easily affected by corrosion, oxidation, etc., and is relatively more durable.
2. Different tensile strength
Generally speaking, the tensile strength of carbon steel plates is higher than that of stainless steel because carbon steel plates contain higher carbon elements and are harder.
3. Materials have different uses
Carbon steel plates are mostly used to manufacture heavy industrial products, such as buildings, bridges, large machinery, ships, etc. Stainless steel is mostly used in the manufacture of decorations, kitchenware, pharmaceutical machinery, chemical equipment, medical equipment, etc.
in conclusion
To sum up, carbon steel plates and stainless steel are two different metal materials with their own characteristics and uses. When selecting materials, judgment and selection need to be made based on actual conditions.
