low-carbon steel

It is stronger than common, low-carbon steels, but 45% lighter.

Soft, low-carbon steel was used, but strong materials were needed for the receivers of firearms.

These tools are usually made of low-carbon steel.

The low-carbon steels also frequently exhibit lower strengths at high temperatures.

Steel wool is made from low-carbon steel (low enough to be close to plain iron).

Alloys not amenable to heat treatment, including low-carbon steel, are often work-hardened.

These were made of low-carbon steel and usually took the form of multiple layer leaf springs.

On the other end of the spectrum, low-carbon steels are troublesome because they are too soft.

Carburization, a process for surface hardening of low-carbon steel

Furthermore, because the temperatures were so low in the bloomeries, only low-carbon steel was able to be produced (wrought iron).

His engineer's eye recognized low-carbon steel.

At 900 C a typical low-carbon steel is composed entirely of austenite, the high temperature phase of iron.

Blowing oxygen through molten pig iron lowers the carbon content of the alloy and changes it into low-carbon steel.

Metallurgic reports indicate that the substance in these fragments is composed of a low-quality, low-carbon steel, minute shavings.

This scalar quantity is used extensively as an indicator of the formability of recrystallized low-carbon steel sheets.

Low-carbon steels are "gummy" and stick to the cutting tool, resulting in a built up edge that shortens tool life.

"Low-quality, low-carbon steel.

The advent of low-carbon steels containing boron and molybdenum in 1958 allowed fully Bainitic steel to be produced by continuous cooling.

On its edges were placed four strips of low-carbon steel, 0.05-0.07%, and the whole thing was welded together by forging on the pattern of hammer blows.

The two-baht coin, confusingly similar in color and size to the one-baht coin, was changed from nickel-clad low-carbon steel to aluminium bronze.

Bits made from high carbon steel are more durable than low-carbon steel bits due to the properties conferred by hardening and tempering the material.

The resulting product combines much of the toughness of a low-carbon steel core, with the hardness and wear resistance of the outer high-carbon steel.

High-strength steels have comparable yield strengths, and low-carbon steels have yield strengths much lower (around 0.5 GPa).

Likewise, tempering high-carbon steel to a certain temperature will produce steel that is considerably harder than low-carbon steel that is tempered at the same temperature.

In the tool holder of the lathe was clamped a chip of some hard mineral that did a good enough job of cutting the forged iron and low-carbon steel.
