Do you know the difference between carbon steel and alloy steel?
Carbon steel: mainly refers to the mechanical properties depend on the carbon content of steel, and generally do not add a lot of alloying elements of steel, sometimes called plain carbon steel or carbon steel. Carbon steel, also known as carbon steel, carbon content WC less than 2% iron carbon alloy.
Carbon steel in addition generally contains a small amount of silicon, manganese, sulfur, phosphorus can be divided according to the use of carbon steel carbon structural steel, carbon tool steel and free-cutting structural steel three carbon structural steel is divided into structural steel and machine structural steel, which can be divided into low carbon steel (WC ≤ 0.25%), medium carbon steel (WC 0.25% – 0.6% ) and high carbon steels (WC> 0.6%).
According to phosphorus and sulfur content, carbon steels can be divided into ordinary carbon steels (phosphorus and sulfur are higher), high quality carbon steels (phosphorus and sulfur are lower) high-quality steel (phosphorus, sulfur lower).
Alloy steel: based on carbon steel, one or more alloying elements are deliberately added to improve the serviceability and process performance of the iron-based alloy is called alloy steel. Alloy steel refers to the steel containing silicon and manganese as alloying elements or deoxidizing elements, other alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, vanadium, titanium, copper, tungsten, aluminum, cobalt, niobium, zirconium and other elements, and some also contain some non-metal elements (such as boron, nitrogen, etc.) steel.
According to the amount of alloying elements in steel, but also can be divided into low alloy steel, medium alloy and high alloy steel.
Chemical composition difference:
(1) Carbon steel: Low carbon steel (C≤0.25%); Medium carbon steel (C≤0.25 ~ 0.60%); High carbon steel (C≤0.60%).
(2) Alloy steel: Low alloy steel (total content of alloying elements ≤ 5%); Medium alloy steel (total content of alloying elements> 5 ~ 10%) ; High alloy steel (total content of alloying elements> 10%.
Carbon steel advantages:
Carbon steel has high strength, ductility and toughness, low cost, used in heavy machinery for the manufacture of heavy load parts. Can be obtained by heat treatment better mechanical properties cast.
Alloy steel advantages:
In addition to iron in steel elements containing only carbon steel, carbon steel, other silicon, sulfur, phosphorus and other impurities. In addition to other elements of chromium, manganese, molybdenum, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, niobium, boron, silicon and nickel alloy steel to achieve the desired properties such as high temperature, high elasticity, abrasion resistance, high strength, high toughness and so on. Alloy steel hardness wear resistance, hardenability, corrosion resistance than carbon steel excellent.
Here you can see some of the commonly use Carbon steel material grades in Process piping.

B Grades shown in this table with the letter B, such as 50B40, can be expected to have 0.0005 % minimum boron control. A Grades shown in this table with prefix letter E generally are manufactured by the basic-electric-furnace process. All others are normally manufactured by the basic-open-hearth process but may be manufactured by the basic-electric-furnace process with adjustments in phosphorus and sulfur.
C The phosphorus sulfur limitations for each process are as follows:
Basic electric furnace 0.025 max % Acid electric furnace 0.050 max %
Basic open hearth 0.040 max % Acid open hearth 0.050 max %
D Minimum and maximum sulfur content indicates resulfurized steels.
EThe purchaser may specify the following maximum amounts: copper, 0.30 %; aluminum, 0.050 %; and oxygen, 0.0015 %.

a more important dimension, then cold-worked tubing should be specified to inside diameter and wall thickness or outside diameter and inside diameter.
Rough-Turned Mechanical Tubing—Variation in outside diameter and wall thickness shall not exceed the tolerance in Table. Table covers tolerances as applied to outside diameter and wall thickness and applies to the specified size.
Ground Mechanical Tubing—Variation in outside diam-eter shall not exceed the tolerances in Table. This product is normally produced from a cold-worked tube.
Lengths—Mechanical tubing is commonly furnished in mill lengths, 5 ft (1.5 m) and over. Definite cut lengths are furnished when specified by the purchaser. Length tolerances are shown in Table .
Straightness—The straightness tolerances for seamless round tubing shall not exceed the amounts shown in Table.
Test Requirement
1.Hardness Test
When hardness limits are required, the manufacturer shall be consulted. Typical hardnesses are listed in Table .When specified, the hardness test shall be performed on 1 % of the tubes.
2.Tension Tests
When tensile properties are required, the manufacturer shall be consulted. Typical tensile properties for some of the more common grades and thermal conditions are listed in table.
3.Nondestructive Tests
Various types of nondestructive ultrasonic or electromagnetic tests are available. The test to be used and the inspection limits shall be established by manufacturer and purchaser agreement.
4.Flaring Test
When there are special requirements for steel cleanliness, the methods of test and limits of acceptance shall be established by manufacturer and purchaser agreement.
