Teräsmateriaaleja
Teräsmateriaalit, often referred to as steel materials in English, encompass a wide range of iron-based alloys that exhibit significant strength and durability due to the presence of carbon. The fundamental component of steel is iron, to which carbon is added in varying amounts, typically between 0.2% and 2.1% by weight. This addition of carbon dramatically alters the properties of iron, increasing its hardness and tensile strength. Other alloying elements can be added to steel to further modify its characteristics, leading to a diverse array of steel types.
Common alloying elements include manganese, chromium, vanadium, and tungsten. For instance, the addition of chromium creates
