constituent. Too much carbon makes the steel brittle.
Carbon steel caskets classified by: - Question and answersgauge- a measurement of
thickness of metals
, Gauge - Question and answersroughly equated to the number of sheets of metal
necessary to equal approximately on inch of thickness. An inverse relationship exists
between the gauge number of the metal's thickness- the lower the gauge number the
thicker the steel.

a basic grade of stainless steel with good corrosion resistance properties. Mainly
composed of iron and carbon (steel) to which has been added chromium in an amount
