2) Difference between Martensitic, Austenitic and Ferritic

Austenitic
Austenitic stainless steels are the most weldable of the stainless. Austenitic is the most
popular stainless steel group. Austenitic stainless steels have a face-centered cubic structure.
Ferritic
Ferritic stainless steel consists of iron-chromium alloys with body-centered cubic crystal
structures. They can have good ductility and formability, but high-temperature strengths are
relatively poor when compared to austenitic grades. Other more highly alloyed steels low in C
and N are more costly, but are highly resistant to chlorides.
Martensitic
Martensitic stainless steels are similar in composition to the ferrite group, but contain a
balance of C and Ni vs. Cr and Mo; hence, austenite at high temperatures transforms to
martensite at low temperatures. Like ferrite, they also have a body-centered cubic crystal
structure in the hardened condition..

3) Application for Low, High and Medium Carbon Alloy

Low Carbon Alloy Steel
Used for simple structural applications such as cold formed fasteners and bolts. It is often used
in the case hardened condition. Often employed in high volume screw machine parts
applications, such as shafts, spindles, pins, rods, and sprocket assemblies.
Medium Carbon Alloy Steel
Used in gears, shafts, axles, bolts, studs, and machine parts. Used for hand tools such as
screwdrivers, pliers, and similar items.
High Carbon Alloy Steel
Used in applications that require a good combination of strength and impact resistance, such as
gears, aircraft landing gear axles, and shafts for power transmissions. Typically used for aircraft
landing gear, power transmission gears and shafts, and other structural parts.

2) What is the difference between austenitic, ferritic and martensitic?

Ferritic These steels contain less than 0.10% carbon and are magnetic. The fact that
they cant be hardened via heat treatment and dont weld to a high standard limits the
use of these metals somewhat, but they are still suitable for a wide range of applications.
Austenitic This is the most common type of stainless steel, accounting for up to 70%
of all stainless steel production. Its versatility is in large part down to the fact that it can
be formed and welded with successful results.
Martensitic This type of steel shares some characteristics with ferritic, but boasts
higher levels of carbon, up to a full 1%. This means that they can be tempered and
hardened and are thus highly useful in situations where the strength of the steel is more
important than its resistance to corrosion.

3) What are the application for Low, Medium, High Carbon

Low Carbon Alloy Steel - Used for applications such as cold headed fasteners and bolts.
Often employed in high volume screw machine parts applications, such as shafts,
spindles, pins, rods, sprocket assemblies, and an incredibly wide variety of component
parts.
Medium Carbon Alloy Steel - Used for crankshafts, couplings, and cold headed parts.
Used in gears, shafts, axles, bolts, studs, and machine parts.
High Carbon Alloy Steel - Used in structural applications such as aircraft engine mounts
and welded tubing applications. Typically used for aircraft landing gear, power
transmission gears and shafts, and other structural parts.
