alloy steel

1. Steel who characteristics are determined by the addition of other elements in addition to carbon (synset 114740203)
   is a type of: steel - an alloy of iron with small amounts of carbon; widely used in construction; mechanical properties can be varied over a wide range
   subtypes:

   • chromium steel, stainless, stainless steel - steel containing chromium that makes it resistant to corrosion
   • chrome-nickel steel, elinvar - Elinvar is a trademark for a kind of steel used for watch springs because its elasticity is constant over a wide range of temperatures
   • chrome-tungsten steel - a steel alloy made with chromium and tungsten
   • austenitic manganese steel, manganese steel - a steel with a relatively large component (10-14%) of manganese; highly resistant to wear and shock
   • molybdenum steel - steel containing 10-15% molybdenum; properties are similar to tungsten steel
   • nickel steel - an alloy steel containing nickel
   • tool steel - alloy steel that is suitable for making tools; is hard and tough and can retain a cutting edge
   • tungsten steel, wolfram steel - a very hard heat-resistant steel containing tungsten
   • vanadium steel - steel alloyed with vanadium for greater strength and high-temperature stability
