Why does carbon steel have higher tensile strength compared to pure iron?
Why does carbon steel have higher tensile strength compared to pure iron?
- As it has a higher percentage of carbon (correct)
- Due to its lower machinability
- Because it lacks any other elements to reinforce it
- Because it is softer and malleable
