What is iron-carbon alloy

It refers to an alloy of iron and iron, such as steel pig iron, iron alloy cast iron, etc. Steel and pig iron are all iron-based alloys with carbon as the main additive element, collectively referred to as iron-carbon alloys.

Pig iron refers to the product made by smelting iron ore in a blast furnace, which is mainly used for steelmaking and castings. The cast iron is smelted in an iron melting furnace to obtain cast iron (liquid, iron-carbon alloy with a carbon content of more than 2.11%), and the liquid cast iron is cast into castings. This cast iron is called cast iron.

Ferroalloy is an alloy composed of iron and silicomanganese, chromium, titanium and other elements. Ferroalloy is one of the raw materials for steelmaking. It is used as steel deoxidizer and alloy element additive during steelmaking. (Guide: Introduction to the types of steel pipes)

Iron-carbon alloys with a carbon content of less than 2.11% are called steels. The pig iron used for steelmaking is smelted in a steelmaking furnace according to a certain process. Generally speaking, steel such as steel castings generally refers to steel rolled into various steels.
