In a fabrication project, the type of steel used is an important area to be considered. Let’s dig in to find more about the differences between stainless and carbon steel.
Appearance: The type of metal is considered when it comes to the appearance of the metal. For a cosmetic appearance, the stainless steel is preferred. The carbon steel appears dull with a matte finish, while stainless steel appears to be glossy.
Resistance to corrosion: The ability to resist corrosion is another main difference between stainless and carbon steel. Compared to carbon steel stainless steel is more corrosion resistant due to the chromium content added in it.
