Introduction
Carbon steels are those that have carbon as the key alloying element. They have up to 0.4% silicon and 1.2% manganese. In addition, the residual elements such as nickel, chromium, aluminium, molybdenum and copper are present in these steels.
The following sections will give an overview of AISI 1084 carbon steel in detail.
