Carbon steel is an alloy made of iron and carbon.

Apart from iron and carbon, other alloying elements give steel different characteristics.

One of the key elements is chromium.

Chromium is one of the specifications that distinguish stainless steel from carbon steel.

Stainless steel has 11-12 percent chromium.

In carbon steel, the most content is carbon.

One characteristic of chromium is that it can avoid steel corrosion.

Due to the low chromium content in steel, carbon steel blades are more likely to rust than stainless steel blades.

Carbon steel is not corrosion resistant.

When the carbon steel blade is in the wet and cold natural environment, water and salt water, it will cause air oxidation.

Finally, the color fades, and the worst condition is corrosion.

Apart from the harm caused by different chromium content and the addition of other elements, the characteristics of carbon steel are not very different from those of other steels.

The addition of other elements such as vanadium, tungsten and manganese can change the plasticity, tensile strength, edge sharpness, maintenance and ductility of steel.

In addition, this other element increases the cost of steel and the manufacturing difficulty coefficient of the processing technology of quenching and tempering treatment.

But it can show obvious benefits to customers.

Only say, all have their own advantages.

Because there are many kinds of stainless steel, there are also many kinds of carbon steel.

Every steel has its advantages and disadvantages.
