Advantages of Carbon Steel compared to other Metals. 1) Faster heating effect. For kitchen use this is especially important as it saves time and reduces the amount of energy used. Stainless Steel, on the other hand, is known to be a poor conductor of heat.
Medium carbon steels are quite often hardened and tempered using heat treatment. High Carbon Steel: Commonly known as âcarbon tool steelâ it typically has a carbon range between 0.61% and 1.50%. High carbon steel is very difficult to cut, bend and weld. Once heat treated it becomes extremely hard and brittle. This article is the first of a four-part series on the different types of steel. Read Part 2 to learn more about Alloy Steel grades and its attributes.
