Types of Carbon Steel and Their Applications Nowadays, carbon steel is used in many different environments and for many different purposes. Because there are so many types and grades of steel out there, it can be difficult to get to grips with what is on the market and which grade or type of carbon steel would be the most suitable for your project. It goes without saying that every type of carbon steel has its own pros and cons, and the most important thing to remember is that the type of carbon steel is determined by the amount of carbon that is mixed into the iron during the manufacturing process. A range of other materials and metals that can be added to the mix that will change the physical characteristics of the steel; for instance, to get stainless steel, an amount of chromium is added, and other additions can increase strength, make the steel more durable, or even make it more conductible. Here we give a brief explanation of these: Low-carbon steel: This type of steel is commonly used where a non-hardened surface is required, but a high degree of non-corrosiveness is nevertheless important. Typically, this is used for kitchen equipment such as pots and pans, knives, silverware, counter tops, splashbacks, or practically any type of steel used in the preparation of food. It is very effective in this environment, because it is resistant to stains, does not corrode or rust in a dishwasher, and is easy to clean and keep clean.
