High carbon steel is used for making cutting tools or nails. The hardness and metal wear resistance of high carbon steel is very high as compared to low carbon. Mostly preferred in the manufacturing industry for producing many parts and tools such as drill bits, knives, masonry nails, saws, metal cutting tools and woodcutting tools. Whereas Low carbon steel is used for making chain links, gates and railings. Moreover it is used for making parts in automobile industries for making many machine parts of cars and consumer products such as refrigerators and washing machines to make life simple and convenient. Now a days the microstructure is related to physical properties such as strength, toughness, ductility, hardness, resistance, high/low temperature behavior or wear resistance, these properties helps in making megastructures and different designing of big buildings.
Izod impact test
Izod Impact is a very important phenomenon in governing the life of a
structure. For instance , in the case of an aircraft, impact can take place by a bird hitting a plane during take-off and landing, aircraft may be struck by debris that is present on the runway, and as well as other causes. It also be calculated for roads is there any speed breaker should be there in bridge construction where vehicles can punch an impact load.
