【Basic Knowledge 27】Explain the duality of carbon in stainless steel (prize quiz)

2015-12-27View Original

Thread Content

Please explain the duality of carbon in stainless steel. The effect of carbon on the microstructure of stainless steel is manifested in two aspects: firstly, carbon is an element that stabilizes austenite, and its effect is quite significant (about 30 times that of nickel); secondly, due to the strong affinity between carbon and chromium, they form a series of complex carbides together. Therefore, in terms of both strength and corrosion resistance, the role of carbon in stainless steel is contradictory.

Please explain the duality of carbon in stainless steel. Carbon is one of the main elements in industrial steel; the properties and structure of steel depend to a large extent on the amount of carbon present in it and on the way in which it is distributed. The influence of carbon is particularly significant in stainless steel.
