Steel

Carbon steel and special steel alloys are known as highly weldable alloys.

Steel is a alloy af iron with other elements, primarily carbon (carbon) – low content.

The base metal of steel is iron, which can assume two different crystal structures, body-centered cubic and face-centered cubic, depending on its temperature. It is the interplay between these allotropes and the alloying elements, primarily carbon, which give steel and cast iron their many unique properties. 

Selection of alloys within steel:
GS38 / 1.0420 – typically used for drop forging
GS45 / 1.0443 – typically used for automotive wear parts
GS52 / 1.0552 – typically used for weldable wear parts
GS60 / 1.0558 – typically used for more difficult wear parts
GS70 / 1.0554 – typically used for tow hooks and tows
