Alloy steel is a type of steel that is alloyed with various elements like chromium, nickel, molybdenum, vanadium, and manganese in specific proportions to enhance its mechanical properties. These added elements improve strength, hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Alloy steels are widely used in the automotive, aerospace, construction, and machinery industries. They are available in low-alloy and high-alloy variants, depending on the percentage of alloying elements. Alloy steels can be heat-treated to achieve desired properties, making them highly versatile for demanding applications. Due to their improved performance and durability, they are preferred in structural components, engine parts, tools, and pressure vessels.
