Low/High Steel Carbon Plate
Carbon steel is an alloy composed of iron and carbon. Several other
elements are allowed in carbon steel, but the maximum percentages
are lower. These elements are manganese with a maximum of 1.65%,
silicon with a maximum of 0.60%, and copper with a maximum of
0.60%. Other elements may be present in too little to affect their
properties
There are four types of carbon steels based on the amount of carbon
present in the alloy. Mild steels are softer and easier to form,
steels with higher carbon content are harder and stronger, but less
ductile, and they become more difficult to machine and weld. Below
are the characteristics of the carbon steel grades we supply:
Mild Steel - Consists of 0.05%-0.25% carbon and up to 0.4% manganese. Also
known as mild steel, it is a low-cost material that is easy to
form. Although not as hard as high carbon steel, carburizing can
increase its surface hardness
Medium carbon steel - 0.29%-0.54% carbon and 0.60%-1.65% manganese. Medium carbon steel
is ductile and strong with long-term wear resistance
High carbon steel - 0.55%-0.95% carbon and 0.30%-0.90% manganese. It is very strong,
has good shape memory and is ideal for springs and wires
Ultra High Carbon Steel - 0.96%-2.1% carbon content. Its high carbon content makes it a very
strong material. Due to its brittleness, this grade requires
special handling
Carbon Steel (Mild Steel A1008)
Carbon steel (or industrial steel) is a steel alloy that combines
carbon and iron. One of the common definitions of carbon steel is
that it is not stainless, so it stains easily. When there is no
minimum level specified or required to obtain the desired alloying
effect, the steel is considered to be carbon steel. Sometimes
carbon steel simply refers to any steel other than stainless steel;
thus it may include alloy steel. Mild steel is the most common form
and is highly ductile and ductile. Medium carbon steel balances
ductility and strength with excellent wear resistance. High carbon
steel is exceptionally strong, while ultra-high carbon steel can be
tempered to higher hardness but is not ductile
As the percentage of carbon becomes larger, the steel can be made
harder and harder by heat treatment. Carbon steel is usually heated
to change the mechanical properties of the steel, usually
ductility, hardness, strength and impact resistance. Increasing the
carbon content of carbon steel makes it harder and stronger, but
reduces the weldability of the steel, making it more brittle
Carbon steel sheet metal is most commonly used for structural
purposes like buildings, but it has the flexibility to be machined
into ornate designs. Mild steel sheet (wrought iron) is commonly
used for fences, chain links, gates and railings. Structural steel
(medium carbon steel) is used in cars, refrigerators, washing
machines, buildings and bridges. Steel plates are usually made of
medium carbon steel
