1. Low Carbon Steels Properties: nonresponsive to heat treatments, relatively soft and weak and machinable and weldable Typical applications: automobile bodies, structural shapes, pipelines, buildings, bridges, and tin cans 2. Medium Carbon Steels Properties: heat treatable and relatively large combinations of mechanical characteristics Typical applications: railway wheels and tracks, gears, crankshafts, and machine parts 3. High Carbon Steels Properties: hard, strong, and relatively brittle Typical applications: chisels, hammers, knives, and hacksaw blades 4. High Alloy Steels Properties: hard and wear resistant and corrosion-resistant in a large variety of environments Typical applications: cutting tools, drills, cutlery, food processing, and surgical tools
