Carbon Steel Strip/Coil

Carbon steel is an alloy with carbon and iron, with carbon content up to 2.1% by weight. The increase in the carbon percentage will raise steel's hardness and strength, but it will be less ductile. Carbon steel has good properties in hardness and strength,and it is less expensive than other steels.

Carbon cold rolled steel coils/strips are produced with a highly adaptable manufacturing process, which are extensively used in automobile, washing machines, refrigerators, electrical appliances and steel office equipment. By varying the percentage in carbon steel, it is possible to produce steel with a variety of different qualities. In general, higher carbon content in steel makes steel harder, brittler and less ductile.
 

Low carbon steel: 0.05 to 0.25% carbon content around .

Medium carbon steel: 0.3-0.5% carbon content around with balanced ductility and strength and good wear resistance.

High carbon steel:0.6 to 1.0% carbon content around, and it is very strong, used for springs, edged tools, and high-strength wires.

Ultra-high carbon steel: 1.25-2.0% carbon content around, and it can be tempered to great hardness.
