Carbon Steel which is also known as Mild steel contains carbon as the alloy, whereas stainless steel includes chromium. Stainless steels are alloys that are made up of iron and generally contain around 11.5% chromium. ...Stainless Steel is more resistant to corrosion than Carbon Steel.

is there any difference between steel and carbon steel
Stainless steel has a high chromium content that forms an invisible layer on the steel to prevent corrosion and staining. Carbon steel has a highercarbon content, which gives the steel a lower melting point, more malleability and durability, and better heat distribution.
hey i have given answer hope it helps..

Steel and Stainless steel both are metals and the common materials used in the world. They are widely used as commercial and consumer applications. Between steel and stainless steel the property varies in terms of strength, ductility, hardness, cost, etc. Also, the main difference lies in the components that are added to the steel to make it useful. This article deals with the differences between steel and stainless steel.
Differences between Steel and Stainless steel
1. Steel is made by adding iron to carbon, which hardens the iron. It is also known as plain carbon steel or mild steel which has higher carbon content with low melting point. On the other hand Stainless steel has a high chromium content that forms an invisible layer on the surface of the steel to prevent it from staining.
2. When stainless steel is prepared from steel, chromium, nickel, nitrogen and molybdenum is added. Stainless steel is resistant to corrosion and steel are prone to stains and rusting. Stainless steel does not rust or corrode easily.
3. Strength of steel and stainless steel: Steel is slightly stronger than stainless steel as it has lower carbon content. Also, it is weaker than steel in terms of hardness.
