1.50% to 5.6%
0.05% to 1.75%
0.25%
None to these
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: A. 1.50% to 5.6%
Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. The carbon content of steel ranges from 0.02% to 2.11%. The higher the carbon content, the harder and stronger the steel, but also the more brittle. Steel with a carbon content of 1.50% to 5.6% is called “structural steel”. It is used in a wide variety of applications, including construction, bridges, and machinery.
Option B is incorrect because the carbon content of steel is not typically less than 0.05%. Option C is incorrect because the carbon content of steel is not typically 0.25%. Option D is incorrect because the carbon content of steel is typically between 0.02% and 2.11%.
