Carbon Steel: Properties, Production, Examples and Applications

Carbon steel is an iron-carbon alloy, which contains up to 2.1 wt.% carbon. For carbon steels, there is no minimum specified content of other alloying elements, however, they often contain manganese. The maximum manganese, silicon and copper content should be less than 1.65 wt.%, 0.6 wt.% and 0.6 wt.%, respectively.

Types of carbon steel and their properties

Carbon steel can be classified into three categories according to its carbon content: low-carbon steel (or mild-carbon steel), medium-carbon steel and high-carbon steel . Their carbon content, microstructure and properties compare as follows:

Carbon content (wt.%)	Microstructure	Properties	Examples
Low-carbon steel	< 0.25	Ferrite, pearlite	Low hardness and cost. High ductility, toughness, machinability and weldability
Medium-carbon steel	0.25 – 0.60	Martensite	Low hardenability, medium strength, ductility and toughness
High-carbon steel	0.60 – 1.25	Pearlite	High hardness, strength, low ductility

PRODUCT DETAILS

ASTM A36 Carbon Steel Plate

ASTM A36 is a widely used American standard low-carbon structural steel with good strength, weldability, and machinability. It is commonly used in construction, bridge building, and machinery manufacturing. It is one of the most common structural steels, widely used in North America, and its stable performance and relatively low cost make it a preferred material for many engineering projects.

Scope of Application

ASTM A36 steel sheet is easy to cut, drill, bend, and stamp, making it convenient to manufacture components of various shapes and sizes. It also has good weldability and can be joined using various welding methods such as arc welding, gas welding, and resistance welding, resulting in welded joints with excellent performance.ASTM A588 steel is known for its weather resistance. When exposed to external conditions, its corrosion resistance becomes stronger even if it is not painted. ASTM A588 steel has four times the corrosion resistance of carbon steel. The application of ASTM A588 steel is very wide. In addition to its typical application in welded bridges and buildings, this specification is also widely used in railway passenger cars; including transmission towers and telephone towers, trucks, bridges and gusset plates, and housing shells. ASTM A588 steel also maintains a good strength-to-weight ratio, meeting the high strength requirements of carbon steel with less weight.

FAQ

Q: Are you a trading company or a manufacturer ?

A: We are manufacturer. Every month, we do a procurement for a massive number of steel material from Chinese state owned mill. The total value of steel processing equipment is more than 30 million dollars. Our major products cover all category of steel industry, and it is totally compatible to all kind of world steel standard.

Q: Do you have large amount of steel products in stock ?

A: Yes, we do. In large-scale indoor warehouses, the total stock value is over 150 millions dollar.

Q: Do you provide the samples ? Free or Extra ?

A: It is free, depend on the value of the sample. The cost of the freight would be charge.

Q: How long is the delivery time ?

A: Officially, it is within 7 days. Actually, we can deliver within 3 days. Customized products or non-standard size products would be taken 10-30 days to deliver, depend on the production cycle. Generally, most of the products finished and delivered within 20 days.
