Steel grades are classifications that define the specific composition, properties, and performance characteristics of steel alloys used in many different applications. These grades are determined and categorized by types and number of alloying elements (like carbon, chromium, nickel, and manganese to name a few), heat treatment procedures, and the intended use of the steel at the end of processing.
Using this classification, it can organize information about the material’s strength, ductility, hardness, and resistance to corrosion or heat, which can allow manufacturers and engineers to select the right steel depending on the need. Different steel grades are used in different industries like automotive, agriculture, construction, and many more.
