Iron plus carbon equals steel. But additional elements are usually present, too — sulphur and phosphorus, for example, are common impurities. Minimizing these elements improves steel quality, and by adding the perfect proportions of chromium, molybdenum, vanadium or nickel, we can create the perfect material for your needs.
A steel alloy is created when other metals are added to the basic combination of iron and carbon, improving its properties. Looking for higher strength, corrosion resistance or better response to heat treatment? There's an alloy for that. When the percentage of alloy material is below the level indicated by specialized terms such as "chrome" or "stainless," the product is simply called "alloy steel."
