Unalloyed Steel

Unalloyed steels are defined as all iron-carbon alloys which have a carbon content of 0.05 to a maximum of 2% and contain, besides iron, only the natural iron companions such as sulphur, manganese, and phosphorus. During the melting process, the proportion of the individual companions can be changed. Depending on the composition and concentration of the steel companions, properties such as hardness and tensile strength can be increased or decreased. Unalloyed steels are frequently used for tools and in mechanical engineering. Unalloyed steels are very widely used in a large number of industrial activities, such as transportation (automobile, trucks, railway cars, and naval construction) – pipework, and boiler making for chemical industries – offshore constructions – wind tower - building – mining, etc. Feel free to contact us for more information.
