Carbon Steel And Stainless Steel Difference
Carbon steel is not specially added alloy elements of steel, stainless steel is added to rust and high alloy content of steel. The two kinds of steel use is not the same, not good or bad, carbon steel is usually stronger than stainless steel, but easy to rust. Carbon steel is an iron carbon alloy with Wc less than 2.11%. Also called carbon steel. Generally also contains a small amount of silicon, manganese, sulfur, phosphorus. The higher the carbon content of general carbon steel is the greater the hardness, the higher the strength, but the plasticity is low. The surface of stainless steel is thin and dense with chrome-rich oxide film, which makes stainless steel water pipe have good corrosion resistance in all water quality including soft water, even if it is used buried in the ground, it also has excellent corrosion resistance.
Stainless steel can be in the temperature of -270°C ~ 400°C under long-term safety work, whether high or low temperature, will not precipitate harmful substances, material performance is quite stable. Stainless steel material safety non-toxic, no corrosion and exudate, no odor or turbidity problem, will not cause secondary pollution to the water, keep the water pure health, health safety to fully guarantee. Stainless steel has corrosion resistance, enhanced strength, deformation of steel is not easy to crack and environmental performance, is not easy to rust, and has good ductility and toughness. Suitable for harsh environment (wet, acid and alkali indoor and outdoor environment)
