Question

Accepted Answer

The carbon content in steel can vary depending on the type of steel, but typically ranges from 0.02% to 2.1%.

Carbon is one of the main alloying elements in steel.
Higher carbon content increases the hardness and strength of steel.
Low carbon steel contains less than 0.25% carbon, while high carbon steel contains more than 0.6% carbon.
The carbon content in steel is determined during the manufacturing process through careful control of the composition.
Carbon steel is commonly used in construction, automotive, and manufacturing industries.
