Alloy Steel

Alloy steels or high-tensile steels are a low-carbon steel, or steels at the lower end of the medium-carbon range.  Alloy steel has additional alloying ingredients in order to increase their strength, wear properties or specifically tensile strength.

These alloying ingredients include chromium, molybdenum, silicon, manganese, nickel and vanadium. Impurities such as phosphorus or sulphur have their maximum allowable content restricted.
