bullet1 Metallic Materials
bullet2 Ferrous (plain carbon Steels)

bullet3 Medium carbon steel

Medium-carbon steels are similar to low-carbon steels except that the carbon ranges from 0.25 to 0.70 weight percent and the manganese from 0.60 to 1.65 weight percent. Increasing the carbon content to approximately 0.5 weight percent with an accompanying increase in manganese allows medium-carbon steels to be used in the quenched and tempered condition.
