Carbon steel is an iron–carbon alloy whose strength, hardness, and weldability vary with its carbon content. In this article, we break down the properties, differences, and applications of low-, medium-, and high-carbon steel—and reveal which type is the easiest to weld and which is the most challenging.
Higher carbon content enhances steel hardness and toughness but poses challenges in welding. We'll explore how to weld carbon steel with different carbon content and explain what are the potential issues.
This article will teach you about the commonly used stick welding electrodes for carbon steel, their pros and cons, and you'll learn which are more difficult to run.
