Carbon Steel Manufacturer
Carbon steel is a type of steel that is primarily composed of carbon and iron. It typically contains small amounts of other elements such as manganese, silicon, and copper. The carbon content in carbon steel can range from 0.05% to 2.0%, with higher carbon content resulting in increased hardness and strength.
Carbon steel is commonly used in a variety of applications, including construction, automotive manufacturing, and industrial equipment. It is often chosen for its strength, durability, and affordability.
There are several different grades and types of carbon steel available at Omsteel, each with its own specific properties and characteristics.
Some common types of carbon steel include
Low carbon steel
Also known as mild steel, this type of carbon steel contains a low amount of carbon (usually less than 0.3%) and is often used for structural applications.
Medium carbon steel
This type of carbon steel contains a higher amount of carbon (between 0.3% and 0.6%) and is often used for forging and other applications that require a balance of strength and ductility.
High carbon steel
This type of carbon steel contains a high amount of carbon (between 0.6% and 1.5%) and is often used for cutting tools and other applications that require high hardness and wear resistance.
Properties of Carbon Stainless steel
High strength
Carbon steel has a high tensile strength that makes it suitable for use in heavy-duty applications.
Ductility
Carbon steel can be easily shaped and molded into various forms due to its ductility.
Hardness
Carbon steel has a high level of hardness that makes it resistant to wear and tear.
Weldability
Carbon steel is easy to weld, making it a popular choice in many manufacturing applications.
