Handle
The lawn mower will be equipped with tyres so that it can be readily
transported and stored after usage. The tyres will be able to move freely over
the grassed region as intended, as well as through a difficult obstacle. It will
be designed with exceptional grip tyres and a robust rim to prevent it from
breaking easily.

Stainless steel is a wise choice for many applications that require both
steel strength and corrosion resistance, given to its corrosion and stain
resistance, ease of maintenance, and recognisable shine. Stainless steel may
be rolled into a variety of shapes, including sheets, plates, bars, wire, and
tubing. Cookware, cutlery, surgical tools, major appliances, autos, large-scale
building materials, industrial equipment (such as paper mills, chemical plants,
and water treatment), and chemical and food storage tanks and tankers all
contain these contaminants.
2.3.2 ALUMINIUM
Carbon steel is a steel that contains between 0.05 and 2.1 percent
carbon by weight. The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) defines carbon
steel as follows:
-For chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, titanium,
tungsten, vanadium, zirconium, or any other element to be added to create a
desired alloying effect, no minimum content is stated or required;
-Copper must not exceed 0.40 percent of the stipulated minimum;
-If any of the following elements' maximum content set does not
exceed the percentages noted: Manganese is 1.65%, silicon is 0.60 percent,
and copper is 0.60 percent.
Carbon steel can also refer to steel that isn't stainless steel; in this
case, carbon steel can also refer to alloy steels. Milling machines, cutting
tools (such as chisels), and high-strength wires are just a few of the
applications for high carbon steel. This type of application necessitates a finer
microstructure, which increases toughness. Carbon steel is a common metal
for knife manufacture because of its high carbon content, which gives the
blade better edge retention. It is critical to heat treat this sort of steel
appropriately in order to get the most out of it. Otherwise, the knife may
become brittle or too soft to keep an edge. Steel can get harder and stronger
by heat treating as the carbon percentage concentration increases, but it
becomes less ductile. A larger carbon concentration reduces weldability
regardless of heat treatment. The melting point of carbon steels decreases as
the carbon content increases.
2.4 REVIEW ON RUBBER
As the name implies, push mowers need the operator to manually push
the equipment over the grass. The engine spins the blades, but the wheel
motion is entirely up to you. These mowers are popular since they are
generally the most affordable, as well as lightweight and simple to maneuver.
A push mower is easy to manage, allowing the operator to decide where it
travels, steer around obstacles and corners, and even reverse. Its modest
weight may come in handy if you need to hoist the mower onto a trailer or
truck bed, or if you need to move it up and down stairs.
