Types and uses of high alloy steel
High alloy steel refers to alloy steel with more than 10% alloying elements in the steel. Its brand name is prefixed with the letter X, followed by a number representing the average carbon content (in tens of thousands) and alloy element symbols (arranged by content), and finally the average percentage value indicating the content of each major alloy element (rounded to an integer).
