What is the difference between carbon steel and alloy steel seamless pipes?

TAGS: steel | carbon | seamless |

The difference between carbon steel seamless pipe and alloy steel seamless pipe is mainly reflected in material, strength and corrosion resistance. Here are their main differences:

Material: The material of carbon steel seamless pipe is carbon steel, while the material of alloy steel seamless pipe contains other metal elements (such as chromium, nickel, etc.).

Strength: The strength of alloy steel seamless pipe is higher than that of carbon steel seamless pipe, because alloying elements can improve the hardness and toughness of steel.

Corrosion resistance: Alloy steel seamless pipes have better corrosion resistance than carbon steel seamless pipes, because alloying elements can improve the corrosion resistance of steel.

Price: The price of alloy steel seamless pipe is higher than that of carbon steel seamless pipe.
