Carbon structural steel, a type of ordinary carbon steel, is widely used in the manufacture of various industrial structures, such as beams, bridges, ships, vehicles and various machine parts. Its chemical composition, performance and welding performance are better than that of low alloy structural steel, so it is an important structural material for construction engineering. It is composed of heat-treated, pressure-formed and cooled components, and is formed from a low-carbon steel element containing 0.02-0.06%, sulfur, phosphorus, and other residual elements. Its microstructure consists of ferrite, pearlite, cementite, and second phase particles.
In general, carbon structural steel has the following features:
First, its mechanical properties are good. The carbon structural steel exhibits good tensile strength, flexural strength and various mechanical strengths under various environment conditions.
Second, the process performance is good. Carbon structural steel has excellent welding characteristics and is easy to be processed or machined under various conditions.
Third, it can adapt to various environmental conditions. The chemical composition of carbon structural steel is simple, which makes it easy to adapt to the environment, and it can be used in various places without being corroded by external media.
Fourth, its cost performance is high. Because of its low alloy elements and simple production process, carbon structural steel has lower transportation cost and uniform product quality, so it is welcomed by most customers.
Finally, its decorative effect is good. The surface of carbon structural steel doesnt require special treatment, and its surface color has a strong decorative effect.
In summary, carbon structural steel has excellent comprehensive performance, so it is widely used in various fields. As the demand for high-quality carbon structural steel increases, the sales volume of carbon structural steel also gradually rises, but it is also accompanied by a rise in price. Therefore, to ensure the quality and price of carbon structural steel, it is important to select good quality carbon structural steel.
