Carbon steel is an iron-carbon alloy with a carbon content of 0.0218% to 2.11%. It also contains a small amount of silicon, manganese, sulfur, and phosphorus. Generally, the higher the carbon content, the greater the hardness and the higher the strength, but the lower the plasticity. According to the carbon content, carbon steel plate can be divided into low carbon steel (C ≤ 0.25%), medium carbon steel (C 0.25%-0.6%) and high carbon steel plate (C>0.6%).

Product Introduction

Different Types of Carbon Steel Plates

Generally, carbon steel plates are available in different types depending on the carbon content, making method, thickness, and usage. 

There are generally low, medium, high, and extra-high carbon steel plates according to the carbon content.
Low carbon: C content from 0.06% to 0.25%. It is also called a mild carbon plate.
Medium carbon: C content from 0.25% to 0.6%.
High carbon: C content from 0.6% to 0.95%.
Extra-high carbon: C content from 0.96% to 2.1%.
It should notice that as the content of carbon increases, the steel hardness increases, but the final plasticity reduces.

According to the thickness, it can be grouped into thin, medium, thick, and extra-thick carbon plates.

Advantage

• The raw material of carbon steel is easy to find, so it is usually low in production cost.

• It has a robust construction, high ductility, easy fabricating, good abrasion resistance, and great versatility.

Quality Control

We have our own Physical & Chemical Testing Center Lab to guarantee our product quality. Our test items & instrument fully meet international standards.

Applications

The carbon steel plate is commonly used in machinery, chemical, petroleum, boiler, heat exchanger, medical equipment, and other industries. 

• Making building materials like carbon steel angle/coil/strip, mold bottoms, scaffoldings, machinery parts, I-beam, etc.

• Construct bridges, highways, buildings, ships, offshore structures, power stations, storage tanks, boilers, pressure vessels, etc.

• General fabrication like cabinets, enclosures, bucket parts, truck bodies, heat exchangers, condensers, steel repairing, etc.

• Used as the base material of GI, and PPGI steel.
