Low alloy steel is named after the low alloy content based on carbon steel, the small amounts of alloying elements enhance the mechanical properties of carbon steel.
Common alloying elements to carbon steel
- Nickel: brings better strength, better toughness and better corrosion resistance
- Chromium: brings better harden ability and strength, better wear and corrosion resistance
- Molybdenum: brings better strength, better harden ability
