1. Both stainless steel and carbon steel belong to steel structure. Because the materials contained in the two manufacturing are different, there are still differences in themselves. Carbon steel contains carbon elements, while stainless steel contains aluminum alloys and other materials.

2. The density is different. The density of carbon steel is higher than that of stainless steel.

3. The composition is different. Stainless steel means stainless acid-resistant steel, acid and alkali resistant, and oxidation-resistant components, so it is called stainless steel. Carbonic acid is a carbon alloy with a carbon content of 0.0217% to 2.10%, also called carbon steel, with a small amount of silicon in it.

4. The resistance is different. Stainless steel has a higher resistivity, while carbon steel has a lower resistivity.

5. The magnetism is different. Stainless steel has magnetic induction. When stainless steel is cold processed, it will produce magnetic induction. It can be demagnetized by scalding with hot water.

Advantages and disadvantages of stainless steel and carbon steel

1. It is difficult to compare the two steels, because each has its own use. From the perspective of hardness, carbon steel is harder than stainless steel. Second, from the perspective of use, stainless steel is more durable.

2. Stainless steel is widely used in our family life, it can be used to make kitchen countertops, cabinet doors, etc.

3. The price of carbon steel is lower than that of stainless steel, and it is easier to make than stainless steel, but its disadvantage is that carbon steel will become brittle at low temperature, and it will easily lose its magnetic force under magnetic induction.

What welding rod is used for welding stainless steel and carbon steel?

It is necessary to use electrodes or wires that match stainless steel and carbon steel for welding. It is recommended not to weld stainless steel and carbon steel together, because after the two are welded together, there will be carburizing reaction after air oxidation, which will have an impact on stainless steel.
