What is the difference between carbon steel and stainless steel
1. Different densities
The density of carbon steel is slightly higher than that of ferritic and martensitic stainless steel, but it is lower for austenitic stainless steel, so the difference between carbon steel and stainless steel is different.
2. Resistance difference
It can be said that the resistivity increases in the order of carbon steel, ferrite, martensite and austenitic stainless steel, so the resistance of carbon steel and stainless steel is different.
3. Different linear expansion coefficients
The size and order of the linear expansion coefficient are arranged in the order of austenitic stainless steel being the highest and carbon steel being the smallest, so the linear expansion coefficient between the two is different.
