Carbon Equivalent of Structural Steel Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Equivalent Carbon = Carbon Content+(Manganese Content/6)+((Chromium Content+Molybdenum+Vanadium)/5)+((Nickel Content+Copper)/15)
CEq = C+(Mn/6)+((Cr+Mo+V)/5)+((Ni+Cu)/15)
This formula uses 8 Variables
Variables Used
Equivalent Carbon - Equivalent Carbon is the the composition of carbon content, manganese content, chromium content, molybdenum, vanadium, nickel content, copper.
Carbon Content - The Carbon Content the relative amount of carbon present in something in percent.
Manganese Content - Manganese Content, taken in percentage is a transition metal with a multifaceted array of industrial alloy uses, particularly in stainless steels.
Chromium Content - Chromium Content is a steely-grey, lustrous, hard and brittle transition metal.[4] Chromium is the main additive in stainless steel.
Molybdenum - Molybdenum, taken in percentage; is found only in various oxidation states in minerals. The free element, a silvery metal with a gray cast, has the sixth-highest melting point of any element.
Vanadium - Vanadium is a silvery-grayish malleable ductile metallic element obtained from minerals and used especially to form alloys and in catalysts.
Nickel Content - Nickel Content is a silvery-white lustrous metal with a slight golden tinge. Nickel belongs to the transition metals and is hard and ductile.
Copper - Copper is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Carbon Content: 15 --> No Conversion Required
