Steel

Steel is an alloy composed of iron and carbon--the higher the carbon content, the stronger, harder and more brittle the steel. There are many types of steel, all of which are categorized based upon various physical properties and carbon content. High carbon steel is very strong and it is used for files, cold chisels and various metal tools while low carbon steel is used for tubing, nails and castings.

Super Alloy 1 is recommended when heat or asthetics is an issue. Otherwise we recommend our SSF-6 Silver Solder for torch welding.
