Iron and carbon are constituents of steel. The carbon composition of steel is not constant. It varies depending on the type and grade of steel concerned. 0.2% to 1.2% carbon content by weight is common for steels. Talking about the types of steel, one particular kind of steel is specifically called carbon steel due to the high amount of carbon in the composition.

What is Carbon Steel?
The steel that contains carbon as the main alloying element is called carbon steel. The properties of carbon steel change depending on the percentage of carbon that it has. Based on the amount of carbon, we can classify carbon steels into three categories. These are:
a). Medium Carbon Steel
b). High Car...
