Carbon steel is an iron carbon alloy with a carbon content ranging from 0.0218% to 2.11%. Generally, it also contains small amounts of silicon, manganese, sulfur, and phosphorus. The higher the carbon content, the greater the hardness and strength, but the lower the plasticity.
According to the different carbon content, carbon steel can be divided into three categories:
Low carbon steel: Carbon content less than 0.25%. The characteristic is good plasticity and toughness, easy to form and weld, and is applied in fields such as bridges, building structures, and automotive manufacturing.
Medium carbon steel: The carbon content ranges from 0.25% to 0.60%. Combining strength and plasticity, suitable for manufacturing tracks, gears, shafts, etc.
High carbon steel: with a carbon content greater than 0.60%. High hardness and strength, but low plasticity and toughness, suitable for manufacturing springs, high hardness cutting tools, etc.
As a professional sheet metal fabrication factory in China, Shanghai Yixing Technology is dealing with carbon steel parts every day. Carbon steel can be processed well through laser cutting, metal bending, stamping, deep drawing and welding processes. We have strong team of engineers and technicians to support with DFM report, cost analysis, quality standards etc.
We have accumulated rich experience in carbon steel parts fabrication. Our carbon steel stamping parts, carbon steel deep drawing parts and carbon steel welding parts are widely used in shopping carts, electronic components, cabinets, fences, motors, shelves, tables, chairs, hinges, trailers, rails etc.
We always use material per drawings and meet ROSH /REACH/CE requirement. Material certificate and 3rd party test report can be provided at customers' request. No worry about using cheap or lower grade material to replace.
Carbon steel is a common metal material with a wide range of application scenarios. Below, I will introduce the main application scenarios of carbon steel.
1. Architecture and infrastructure: Carbon steel plays an important role in the field of architecture and infrastructure. It is commonly used to make components such as beams, columns, bridges, steel structures, etc., because it has high strength, good plasticity and weldability, and can withstand complex mechanical loads and deformations.
2. Automotive industry: Carbon steel is one of the key materials in automotive manufacturing. It is widely used in automotive body, chassis, engine mounts, wheels and other components. Carbon steel has high strength, excellent impact toughness, and plasticity, which can provide the safety and reliability required for vehicles.
3. Mechanical equipment: Carbon steel is widely used in the field of mechanical equipment manufacturing. It can be used to manufacture various components, such as bearings, gears, connectors, etc. Carbon steel has good cutting performance and wear resistance, making it suitable for high-speed moving parts and high load working environments.
4. Manufacturing industry: Carbon steel is widely used in various manufacturing industries. For example, it is used to manufacture household appliances, tools, pipelines, boilers, and containers. Carbon steel has good plasticity and welding performance, which can meet the requirements of different industries for material strength and processing performance.
5. Energy industry: Carbon steel plays an important role in the energy industry. It is commonly used in oil and gas transmission pipelines, power generation equipment, nuclear power plant structures, etc. Carbon steel has high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, and can adapt to complex working environments.
In summary, the main application scenarios of carbon steel include construction and infrastructure, automotive industry, mechanical equipment, manufacturing industry, and energy industry. Its excellent performance makes carbon steel an indispensable material in many fields.
