What are the different types of carbon steel?

Carbon steel is divided into three main groups as follows:
low carbon = 0.06% to 0.25% carbon content (mild steel)
medium carbon = 0.25% to 0.55% carbon content (medium steel)
high carbon = >0.55% to 1.00% carbon content (hard steel)

Why choose carbon steel bar?

Carbon steel round bar, with a carbon content of over 0.08%, is widely utilized in construction, automotive, and other industries due to its impressive strength and corrosion resistance. It offers several advantages:

1.Strength and Durability: Carbon steel stock is renowned for its high strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for structural applications.
2.Cost-Effectiveness: Carbon steel round bar is affordable compared to other types of steel, providing a cost-effective solution for your projects.
3.Easy Machinability: With the ability to be cut and shaped with ease, carbon steel round bar offers flexibility during fabrication processes.
4.Wide Range of Applications: Carbon steel stock finds utility in industries such as aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, and more, due to its versatile properties.

Applications

Carbon steel bar is a solid, cylindrical metal bar made primarily from carbon and iron. It is a popular material in various industries due to its strength, durability, and affordability. The carbon content in the steel determines its hardness and strength, with higher carbon content generally indicating greater strength.

Carbon steel bars are often used in construction, manufacturing, and industrial applications where high strength and toughness are required. They are available in a variety of sizes, lengths, and finishes, making them versatile for a wide range of applications.

Carbon steel bars can be easily machined and welded, making them a preferred material for many applications. They can be shaped and formed into a variety of different components, including bolts, gears, axles, and shafts. Additionally, carbon steel bars are highly resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for use in harsh environments.
