Low Alloy Steel
- 3%, and some of the alloying elements are reduced, the steel can achieve a greater weldability and formability while maintaining the strength that steel is known for. Such metals are classified as high strength, low alloy steels. Perhaps the most well-known alloy steel is stainless steel. This is a steel alloy with a minimum of 10% chromium content.
- As a result, it can be rolled thin into products like car body panels. The carbon content for panels that are made of low carbon steel alloy is usually quite low, generally less than 0.10%. The carbon content for products like rolled steel structural plates, forgings, stampings, or sections is a bit higher, usually up to 0.
