Steel Types - Stainless Steel Vs Carbon Steel Explained.

Steel is an engineering material, that finds diverse applications in all kinds of products from aerospace to kitchen wares.
It's a term that describes an entire family of metal alloys.
The basic components of all steel materials are iron and carbon.
There are many grades of steel, but most people categorize it into two broad groups - stainless steel and carbon steel.
Stainless steel is a type of steel which have good corrosion resistance due to the addition of chromium and other alloying elements.
The chromium is key - it reacts with oxygen to create a passive layer that prevents oxidation and protects the steel from rusting.
Based on microstructure, broadly four major categories of stainless are available. They are:
● Austenitic stainless steel
● Ferritic stainless steel
● Martensitic stainless steel
● Duplex stainless steel.
Carbon steel on the other hand is a steel, that contains mainly iron and up to 2.1% carbon. They may contain a small amount of other alloying elements, but carbon is the primary ingredient.
It is an iron-carbon alloy. Therefore, susceptible to rust, unlike stainless steel.
Carbon steel is categorized into three types. They are:
● Low carbon steel (mild steel)
● Medium carbon steel (plain steel)
● High carbon steel
This video discusses these two broad categories because their essential difference is what gives them their distinct physical characteristics. Though they have the same basic composition of iron and carbon. Steel types tend to have a variety of alloying elements.

It's not the content but a low frequency mellow sound of the narration which makes a good and relatable content to learn something relevant

I made a knife blade out of 154-CM stainless steel one time. After cold wet-grinding it and having it heat treated properly, I attempted to finish it down by hand. This material is used in the United States as commercial jet aircraft fan blades, and I soon found out that it was one of the toughest, most abrasive-resistant stainless I'd ever worked. I plunged it thru a sheet-steel folding chair with only minor deformation to the tip. (my wife was not pleased.)

Very interesting and poignant . You don’t waste the viewer’s time with fluff and jokes just straight to the point. Liked and subbed.

[@fasx56]

Enjoyed this vey informative video. Lot of detailed information put into this video. This video was put together by men of expert grade knowledge. If anyone of us tried to research the different types of steel and how they are used in industry it would take days of research. Followed by organization of all notes and then the video production, no easy task.

[@nanaklif4973]

Thank you very much for the information

[@mitakkun2000]

i came here after i saw P&ID which tell they use slaker tank (reactor) made of carbon steel instead of stainless steel to make slaked lime. Isn't carbon steel vulnerable to corrosion? Why they choose carbon steel over stainless steel? anyway great video

[@RustyInventions-wz6ir]

Just found your channel and Subscribed. Very nice work

[@scrimperuk]

very informative and interesting, however I do find the background music annoying and unnecessary :)

[@limiteddpedition9873]

Very annoying music......

[@mikejones-go8vz]

So many videos do this 🤬

[@saave47]

thanks

[@vijayakumarhiremath4288]

Thanks for your very informative video sir,

[@victimovtalent6036]

which type for rebar?

[@novelanederland3902]

Which type and grade of steel would you guys recommened in the following situation: -Furniture office -The steel is gonna be for the look so it will be painted. -It had to be magnatic - soundblocking if possible -I am Not gonna bend it (maybe a small part, like a 90 degree. -it has to be a plate (1m by 2m of 1.5 mm thick Pls help

[@yyabay]

I prefer high carbon tungsened yieldy tensiley titaniumdioxided one

[@johncourtneidge]

Please consider redoing the audio. The machine-generated audio is terrible. I could volunteer to do human voice overs.

[@jmbstudio6873]

Apples and oranges. No mention of alloy steel or tool steel? SS is way too soft for an edged weapon unless it is a SS alloy of some type. Forge On!!!

[@BlackyBrownDestruction9337]

No wonder my axle keeps rusting

Stainless Steel = Poormans Titanium 😉

All Stores Please Lower the price of all Military and Local for all Brands of Steel Projects and Accessories and Production Cost Now That's too much $$ The Whole World Now 🙏 🙏🙏

Learn the plural of words and syntax... of English, maybe you'll get more subs.

[@bobtnailer]

Agreed. It sounds like it was written in Chinese, run through Google Translate into English, then read by a robot. “Endeavor to watch to the end.” No one uses “endeavor” in this context.

Very informative now I understand why the engineers would specify what welding rod to use on their projects. It would be better if it was slowed down for my old brain ,but I sure like when there is text because it's hard to hear with music. Thank you
