They more or less do the same thing but should be used differently. They both make text bold, but <strong> also indicates the text is important and places more emphasis on it semantically. So use <b> if you only want to make text bold, and use <strong> to make text bold *and* emphasize its importance to the browser, search engines, for blind users, etc.

Physically, they are the same when you see them on your webpage but they have different meaning when your web browser interprets it as strong is more important than bold
