What is the difference between LTCS

and Carbon steel?
Whats the difference in composition? When LTCS is used generally?
Whats the temperature range, that these materials can be used? Is
there any relation between Killed carbon steel, LTCS, stainless steel,
carbon steel(normal)? How to categorise/classify these?
Thankyou very much in advance..

*Steel is considered to be carbon steel when no minimum content is
specified or required for chromium, cobalt, columbium [niobium],
molybdenum, nickel, titanium, tungsten, vanadium or zirconium, or any
other element to be added to obtain a desired alloying effect; when the
specified minimum for copper does not exceed 0.40 per cent; or when
the maximum content specified for any of the following elements does
not exceed the percentages noted: manganese 1.65, silicon 0.60,
copper 0.60.
*Low-temperature carbon steels have been developed chiefly for use in
low-temperature equipment and especially for welded pressure vessels.
They are low- to medium-carbon (0.20 to 0.30%), high-manganese (0.70
to 1.60%), silicon (0.15 to 0.60%) steels, which have a fine-grain
structure with uniform carbide dispersion. They feature moderate
strength with toughness down to 50F (46C).
For grain refinement and to improve formability and weldability, carbon
steels may contain 0.01 to 0.04% columbium. Called columbium steels,
they are used for shafts, forgings, gears, machine parts, and dies and
gages. Up to 0.15% sulfur, or 0.045 phosphorus, makes them freemachining, but reduces strength.

*LTCS is a Nickel based alloy steel plates especially used for low
temperature applications below - 150 deg F. Mainly used in cryogenic
construction of space ships, low temperature application in chemical
plant below -55 deg C.
Examples:
SA-203 Steel Plate Grades A, B, D, E and F Nickle Alloy Steel Plates.
For low temperatures (-150 deg F)
Low Temperature Carbon Steel Tubes ASTM A334 Gr.1
ASTM A333Seamless and Welded Steel Pipe for Low-Temperature
Service:
Mainly Grade
Grade 1, Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8, Grade 9, Grade
10, Grade 11
*ASTM A420 For LTCS Fittings.
*A350-LF2 is a standard For Flanges.
**Steel that are generally killed include:

*There is a relation between Killed carbon steel, LTCS, stainless steel,

carbon steel(normal) and it is the iron,carbon and different alloying
elements in varying quantity which makes them fall under different
categories.
