22
Q

Uses of high speed steel

A

Cutting tools such as drill bits, mill cutters, taps and dies.

23
Q

Stainless steel composition

A

Low carbon 0.03-0.08%
Chromium 10.5-26%

24
Q

Properties of stainless steel

A

Hard, ductile. Rust resistant. Chromium layer protects steel from corrosion

25
Q

Uses of stainless steel

A

Cutlery, kitchen and medical equipment

26
