Carbon Steel: Properties, Production, Examples and Applications


Carbon steel is an iron-carbon alloy, which contains up to 2.1 wt.% carbon. For carbon steels, there is no minimum specified content of other alloying elements, however, they often contain manganese. The maximum manganese, silicon and copper content should be less than 1.65 wt.%, 0.6 wt.% and 0.6 wt.%, respectively.


Types of carbon steel and their properties


Carbon steel can be classified into three categories according to its carbon content: low-carbon steel (or mild-carbon steel), medium-carbon steel and high-carbon steel [1]. Their carbon content, microstructure and properties compare as follows:


Carbon content (wt.%)MicrostructurePropertiesExamples
Low-carbon steel< 0.25Ferrite, pearliteLow hardness and cost. High ductility, toughness, machinability and weldability
Medium-carbon steel0.25 – 0.60MartensiteLow hardenability, medium strength, ductility and toughness
High-carbon steel0.60 – 1.25PearliteHigh hardness, strength, low ductility

PRODUCT DETAILS


A588  Carbon Steel Plate Description
A588 carbon steel plate has been specially treated to show good corrosion  resistance. It can resist corrosion from the atmosphere, sea water, salt  spray and other environments, thus extending its service life. For another, A588 carbon steel plate is made of high-strength steel and has high yield strength and  tensile strength, which can meet the requirements of various structural  parts. The plate also has good welding performance, is easy to weld and  process, and therefore improves the efficiency of engineering  installation. A588 carbon steel plates are suitable for various structural parts that require  corrosion resistance and high strength, such as bridges, buildings, ships,  vehicles, etc.

Scope of  Application
ASTM  A588 steel is known for its weather resistance. When exposed to external  conditions, its corrosion resistance becomes stronger even if it is not  painted. ASTM A588 steel has four times the corrosion resistance of carbon  steel. The application of ASTM A588 steel is very wide. In addition to its  typical application in welded bridges and buildings, this specification is  also widely used in railway passenger cars; including transmission towers and  telephone towers, trucks, bridges and gusset plates, and housing shells. ASTM  A588 steel also maintains a good strength-to-weight ratio, meeting the high  strength requirements of carbon steel with less weight.
