High Carbon Structural Steels

High carbon steels (HCS) are used in engineering components and applications in which high strength, dimensional stability, and wear resistance are important. They typically contain 0.60-1.00% carbon, 0.25-0.50% manganese, and 0.04-0.060% silicon. The balance is a low-alloy ferrous steel which is closely restricted to the required chemical elements and the recommended impurity contents. HCS steels are the most commonly used type of alloy steel in the manufacturing of components that are under severe operational, temperatures, pressures or corrosive conditions.

Characteristics

High Carbon Structural Steel generally has a higher carbon content than other steels (0.60-1.00%), giving it increased strength and hardness over low carbon steels. It also exhibits greater dimensional stability and improved wear resistance. Its increased carbon content also gives HCS steel greater strength than low carbon steel, but at a cost of ductility.

Applications

High Carbon Steels are often used in components producing parts or components that are exposed to severe working and environmental conditions such as automobile chassis parts, critical bolts and fasteners, gears, shafts and coupling rivets, turbines, cutting tools and springs. Other applications include structural components, connection rods and crankshafts, mining equipment, mining tools, blades and medical instruments.

Heat Treatment

High Carbon Steels can be heat-treated to improve their strength and toughness. The heat treatment regimes that are used depend on the application and desired properties of the steel. These may include austenitizing (heating to high temperatures and slow cooling), quenching, tempering, and other treatments such as strain hardening and spheroidizing. In some cases, additional treatments such as peening are used to further enhance the steel’s properties.

Advantages

High carbon steels give increased levels of strength and hardness, improved dimensional stability and improved wear resistance. These characteristics make them suitable for use in components that require high strength and wear resistance, such as components exposed to high operational temperatures, pressures and corrosive environments.

Disadvantages

High Carbon Steel has poor ductility and weldability when compared to low carbon steels, which makes them difficult to form and join. This can limit their use in certain applications where parts are exposed to high stresses or strain and require a certain level of ductility.

Conclusion

High carbon steel has increased strength and hardness over other steels and improved dimensional stability and wear resistance. However, due to its low ductility and weldability, they are limited in certain applications. When used in the right application, HCS steels can provide components with the highest levels of strength and durability.

High quality carbon structural steel refers to steel with a carbon content of up to 0.8%, mainly used for the production of metal components and various structural parts. It is required that the strength, hardness and plasticity of the produced parts are good, and the performance shall not be lower than the structural parts of other material components.

High quality carbon structural steel is mainly divided into three parts: hot rolled, cold rolled and cold drawn. Steel grades mainly include Q235, Q345, 20#, 35#, 45#, etc. Carbon structural steel can be processed into different shapes and sizes with special processing technology.

High quality carbon structural steel has good plasticity, toughness and welding performance, and can be used to manufacture various structural parts and components with certain strength, rigidity and toughness. It is mainly used to make bolts, nuts, shafts, hardware, gaskets and other mechanical parts. It is also widely used in the manufacture of bridges, ships, vehicles and construction of large-scale buildings.

High quality carbon structural steel has good machining performance, which is conducive to cutting and welding treatment. In the post processing, the parts can be coated with hot dip galvanizing and chrome plating to improve its wear resistance and corrosion resistance. It is a kind of steel with low cost, wide application range and mature production process. It has been widely used in construction, automobile and other industries.
