Carbon steel introduction

The definition, classification, role and advantages of carbon steel are as follows:

Definition: Carbon steel is an iron-carbon alloy with a carbon content of 0.0218% to 2.11%.
Classification: According to the carbon mass fraction of steel, can be divided into low carbon steel, medium carbon steel, high carbon steel; According to the quality of steel, it can be divided into ordinary carbon steel, high-quality carbon steel, senior high-quality carbon steel; According to the use, can be divided into carbon structural steel, carbon tool steel; According to the smelting method of steel, it can be divided into open-hearth steel and converter steel.
Function: Its main uses include the manufacture of machinery, equipment, tools and cutters. For example, carbon steel can be used to make hammers, wrenches, pliers, cutting machines, presses and other tools and mechanical equipment. In addition, carbon steel is also an important raw material for the manufacture of wire, because of its good electrical conductivity.
Advantages: High strength, low manufacturing cost, good machinability, strong weldability, high corrosion resistance, good electrical conductivity and so on.
