Carbon Steel Plate
Carbon steel plate is a kind of steel mainly composed of iron and carbon, and the carbon content is usually between 0.05% and 2.0%. Its performance mainly depends on the carbon content. The higher the carbon content, the greater the hardness and strength, but the plasticity and toughness will decrease.
Description
Carbon steel plate is a steel plate with carbon as the main alloying element, and the carbon content is usually between 0.05% and 1.5%. According to the different carbon content, carbon steel plates can be divided into low carbon steel, medium carbon steel and high carbon steel.
Classification of carbon steel plates
Classification by carbon content:
Low carbon steel (C≤0.25%): good plasticity and easy processing.
Medium carbon steel (0.25%<C≤0.6%): moderate strength and hardness.
High carbon steel (C>0.6%): high hardness and good wear resistance.
Classification by use:
Carbon steel plate for structure: used for building and mechanical structure.
Carbon steel plate for pressure vessel: used for manufacturing pressure vessel.
Carbon steel plate for ship: used for shipbuilding.
Carbon steel plate for bridge: used for bridge construction.
Manufacturing process of carbon steel plate
Hot rolling process: the steel billet is heated to a high temperature and then rolled into shape, which is suitable for manufacturing thick plates.
Cold rolling process: It is rolled and formed by a rolling mill at room temperature, suitable for manufacturing thin plates and high-precision plates.
Heat treatment process: The mechanical properties of the steel plate are improved through heat treatment processes such as quenching and tempering.
Characteristics of carbon steel plate
High strength: The higher the carbon content, the greater the strength and hardness, but the plasticity and toughness will decrease.
Good machinability: easy to weld, forge and machine.
Low cost: abundant raw materials, mature manufacturing process, and relatively low price.
Poor corrosion resistance: easy to rust, requiring surface treatment or coating protection.
Uses of carbon steel plate
Construction field: used for supporting structures of steel structure buildings, bridges and buildings.
Machinery manufacturing: used to manufacture mechanical equipment, parts and molds.
Automobile industry: used for car bodies, chassis and structural parts.
Shipbuilding: used for hulls and ship structures.
Pressure vessels: used to manufacture boilers, storage tanks and pressure vessels.
Home appliance manufacturing: used for home appliance housings and structural parts.
Carbon steel plates are widely used in construction, machinery, automobiles, ships, and pressure vessels due to their high strength, good processability, and low cost. Carbon steel plates can be divided into various types according to different carbon content and uses, suitable for different application scenarios.
