1. Basic introduction of carbon steel plate and stainless steel
Carbon steel plate is a kind of steel containing carbon element, and its carbon content is generally below 0.5%. It is mainly composed of iron and carbon, and may also contain other elements. Stainless steel is an alloy steel that is not easy to rust. Its main components are alloys of iron, nickel, chromium, manganese and other elements.
2. The difference between carbon steel plate and stainless steel
1. Different corrosion performance
Carbon steel plate is easily affected by corrosion, oxidation, etc., and it is easy to 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 plate is higher than that of stainless steel, because carbon steel plate contains higher carbon element and higher hardness.
3. Different material uses
Carbon steel plate is mostly used to manufacture heavy industrial products, such as buildings, bridges, large machinery, ships, etc. Stainless steel is mostly used to manufacture decorations, kitchen utensils, pharmaceutical machinery, chemical equipment, medical equipment, etc.
3. Conclusion
In summary, carbon steel plate and stainless steel are two different metal materials with their own characteristics and uses. When choosing materials, you need to judge and choose according to the actual situation.
