What are the difference between Carbon Steel and stainless steel?

CARBON VERSUS STAINLESS STEEL COMPARING THE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN THEM Stainless steel 1.High alloy steel containing minimum of 10.5 % Chromium Plain Carbon Steel 1. Low Carbon Steel (Carbon under 0.2%) 2.Medium Carbon Steel (Carbon under 0.2 to0.5%) 3. High Carbon Steel (Carbon above 0.5%) Stainless steel 1. Austenitic 2. Ferritic 3. Martensitic 4. Duplex 5. Precipitation hardening Plain Carbon Steel Stainless Steel Medium Carbon steel High Carbon steel Precipitation Hardened Low Carbon steel Austenitic Ferritic Martensitic Duplex (Carbon between 0.2 to 0.5%) (Carbon Under 0.2%) (Carbon above 0.5%) Nomenclature (ASTM) Stainless steels are divided into 2 series namely- Plain carbon steels are labelled using a 4 digit number. The latter 2-digits signify carbon percentage present in metal. For example- AISI/SAE 1040 signifies medium carbon steel with 0.40% carbon. Similarly AISI 1010 is a low 300 series (Austenitic grades) & 400 series (Martensitic and Ferritic grades), Duplex and Precipitation hardened grades have different nomenclature all-together. Below is a list of few of the most popular stainless steel grades- carbon steel with 0.10% carbon.
