What is carbon steel plate?

2024-12-12

Carbon steel plate is a steel plate with carbon as the main alloying element, which has high strength and rigidity, and relatively low cost. ‌ The main components of carbon steel plate are iron and carbon, and usually contain a small amount of silicon, manganese, sulfur, phosphorus and other elements. Its carbon content ranges from 0.0218% to 2.11%. According to the different carbon content, it can be divided into low carbon steel plate, medium carbon steel plate and high carbon steel plate. ‌

Classification of carbon steel plate

‌Low carbon steel plate‌: Carbon content is below 0.05%.

‌Medium carbon steel plate‌: Carbon content is between 0.3% and 0.6%.

‌High carbon steel plate‌: Carbon content is above 0.6%.

In addition, according to the processing state, carbon steel plate can also be divided into hot-rolled steel plate and cold-rolled steel plate. Hot-rolled steel plate is usually used to make thick plates, while cold-rolled steel plate is suitable for making thin plates and thin shell structural components.

Application fields

Carbon steel plates are widely used in machinery, construction, ships, bridges, automobiles and other fields due to their high strength and rigidity, as well as good plasticity and weldability. For example, carbon steel plates are used in automobile bodies, mechanical equipment parts, building structures, etc.

Processing technology and precautions

Before processing, carbon steel plates need to be surface cleaned and rust-proofed. Processing methods include hot processing and cold processing. Hot processing is suitable for thick plates, including shearing, stamping, bending, welding, etc.; cold processing is suitable for thin plates and thin shell structural parts, including stamping, bending, etc. During the processing, it is necessary to pay attention to the identification of steel types and plate thickness, reasonably select processing equipment and process parameters, and master the technical level and operation methods of processing personnel to ensure processing quality.
