Question

What type of steel is generally used for connecting rods, crank shaft and axle components?

A.

Mild steel       

B.

Low carbon steel

C.

High carbon steel 

D.

Medium carbon steel

Answer ( Option D)

Medium carbon steel

Solution

●For medium carbon steel, the carbon percentage varies from 0.3 to 0.8 %.

●These steels have better strength and not very easy to shape as mild steel.

●The hardness is slightly higher and ductility is poor.

●The machine parts requiring strength like spring, connecting rod, axle, crankshaft, dies for forging, etc. are made from medium carbon steel.

Hence, the correct option is (D).
