Carbon Steel - Low, Medium and High C-Steel

Carbon steel (Plain carbon steel) is an iron-carbon alloy with a carbon content range from 0.05% to 2.1% by weight. It contains a maximum of manganese (1.65 wt.%), silicon (0.6 wt.%) and copper (0.6 wt.%). It does not contain significant amounts of other alloying elements, distinguishing it from alloy steels.

C-steel can be divided into Low, Medium, High and Ultra High based on its carbon content. It is known for its high hardness, strength, and resistance to wear.

CLASSIFICATIONS OF CARBON STEEL:

Carbon steel is classified based on its carbon content and other alloying elements, as described in the AISI definition. Each classification serves different industrial needs and applications based on its mechanical properties and characteristics. The primary classifications are as follows:
Low Carbon Steel:

Carbon content: 0.05% to 0.25%.

Characteristics: Soft, ductile, and easily weldable.

Uses: Structural shapes, auto body panels, wire products, etc.
Medium Carbon Steel:

Carbon content: 0.25% to 0.6%.

Characteristics: Higher strength and hardness than low carbon steel but less ductile.

Uses: Gears, axles, railway tracks, etc.
High Carbon Steel:

Carbon content: 0.6% to 1.4%.

Characteristics: Very hard and strong, less ductile, and difficult to weld.

Uses: Cutting tools, springs, high-strength wires, etc.
Ultra-High Carbon Steel (UHCS):

Carbon content: 1.25% to 2.1%.

Characteristics: Extremely hard and brittle.

Uses: Specialized applications like knives, axles, and certain machinery parts (non-industrial-purpose).

COMMON GRADES OF CARBON STEEL:

The properties of carbon steels are primarily influenced by the carbon content and the presence of trace amounts of other elements. Common grades of carbon steel are e.g. 1045, 1018, A36 or W1.
Chemical Composition: 
1045 Steel

Carbon (C): 0.42-0.5%

Silicon (Si): 0.15-0.4%

Manganese (Mn): 0.60-0.80%

Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.03%

Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.03%
1018 Steel

Carbon (C): 0.15 - 0.2%

Silicon (Si):  ≤ 0.4%

Manganese (Mn): 0.60-1.2%

Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.04%

Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.05%
A36 Steel:

Carbon (C): 0.25 - 0.29%

Silicon (Si):  ≤ 0.4%

Manganese (Mn): 0.6-1.2%

Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.04%

Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.05%
W1 Steel

Carbon (C): 0.9-1.05%

Silicon (Si): 0.1-0.25%

Manganese (Mn): 0.3-0.4%

Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.025%

Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.025%

Chromium (Cr): ≤ 0.2%

Molybdenum (Mo): ≤ 0.1%

Vanadium (V): ≤ 0.1%

Tungsten (W): ≤ 0.2%
