Different Grades of Carbon Steel Plates - Shandong Hongzheng Metal Products

Shandong Hongzheng Metal Products Co., Ltd. provides various grades of carbon steel plates, each designed to meet specific mechanical property requirements and application needs. One of the primary classifications is based on carbon content. Low-carbon steel plates, also known as mild steel, typically contain less than 0.25% carbon. These plates offer excellent ductility and formability, making them ideal for applications that require bending, shaping, or welding, such as general construction, automotive parts, and structural components. Medium-carbon steel plates have a carbon content ranging from 0.25% to 0.60%. They strike a balance between strength, hardness, and ductility, making them suitable for parts that need to withstand moderate stress and wear, such as gears, shafts, and machine components. High-carbon steel plates, with a carbon content of 0.60% to 1.30%, offer high hardness and strength but lower ductility. These plates are commonly used in applications requiring high wear resistance, such as cutting tools, springs, and blades. In addition to carbon content, carbon steel plates can also be categorized by their manufacturing processes and mechanical properties. For example, quenched and tempered carbon steel plates undergo heat treatment to achieve improved strength and toughness. There are also grades that meet specific international standards, such as ASTM A36, which is widely used in construction, or JIS SS400, suitable for general structural purposes. The company's extensive range of carbon steel plate grades ensures that customers can find the right product for their specific applications, and their team of experts is available to provide guidance on selecting the most appropriate grade.
