10 types of ferrous alloys
1. Carbon Steel: A common type of ferrous alloy that contains a small amount of carbon.
2. Stainless Steel: An alloy that contains chromium, which provides corrosion resistance.
3. Tool Steel: A high carbon alloy used for making tools and cutting edges.
4. Cast Iron: An alloy with a high carbon content, often used for its strength and heat resistance.
5. Nickel Steel: An alloy that includes nickel for improved toughness and strength.
6. Manganese Steel: An alloy that contains high amounts of manganese for its excellent work-hardening properties.
7. Alloy Steel: A general term for steels that contain various alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, and molybdenum.
8. Wrought Iron: An alloy with a low carbon content and high ductility, often used for decorative purposes.
9. High-speed Steel: An alloy with high levels of carbon, tungsten, and other elements for use in high-speed applications, such as cutting tools.
10. Low Alloy Steel: Steels that contain a small amount of alloying elements, such as manganese, molybdenum, or silicon, to improve their mechanical properties.
