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
