Top Steel Companies in India by Capacity in 2021.

Steel is such a powerful element, coming in several distinct grades and holding unique chemical compositions. So, if you are here wondering what type of steel to buy for your particular needs, you must understand the chemical structure of the physical steel properties, which are broken down into four foundational types.

Types of steel

1. Carbon steel
   • there are three subtypes: low, medium, and high carbon steel.
   •  low containing about .30% of carbon, medium .60%, and high 1.5%.
   • used to make things like knives, high-tension wires, automotive parts,
2. Alloy steel
   • Alloy steel, which is a mixture of several different metals, like nickel, copper, and aluminum.
   • This is a cheaper side, more resistant to corrosion, and are favored for some car parts, pipelines, ship hulls, and mechanical projects.
3. Tool steel
   • Tool steel is famous for being hard and both heat and scrape resistant.
   • they are very commonly used to make metal tools, like hammers
4. Stainless steel
   • This type is shiny and generally has around 10 to 20% chromium, which is their main alloying element.
   • It allows the steel to be resistant to corrosion and very easily molded into varying shapes. Because of their easy manipulation, flexibility, and quality, stainless steel can be found in surgical equipment, home applications, silverware.
