Alloy steels comprise a wide range of steels with compositions that exceed the limitations of Si, Va, Cr, Ni, Mo, Mn, B and C allocated for carbon steels. In comparison with carbon steels, alloy steels are more responsive to mechanical and heat treatments. Alloy steels have elements such as chromium, cobalt, nickel, etc. These steels can be used in specific melting and deoxidization processes for particular applications.
