Difference in Carbon Content

Medium Carbon steel

About 0.3–0.5% carbon content. Balances ductility and strength with good wear resistance; used for large parts, forgings, and auto parts.

High Carbon steel

The carbon content is approximately 0.6% to 1.0%. Very strong for springs, knives, and high-strength wires.

Ultra-High Carbon Steel

About 1.25–2.0% carbon content. Steel that can be tempered to high hardness. For special purposes such as (non-industrial) knives, shafts, and punches. Most steels containing more than 2.5% carbon are manufactured using powder metallurgy.

Application and Features

Medium and high carbon steel (0.25–1.0%) meets all requirements for toughness, hardenability, and wear resistance. It is used extensively in tool, cutter, high strength strapping band, automotive parts (disk spring, safety lock, hose clamp, seat gear), and saw blades (stone, metallurgy, and woodworking). The sheet’s width ranges from 980 to 2050 mm, and its thickness spans from 1.6 to 20 mm.

 

In order to prevent turn-down edges caused by excessive softness and to prevent ripping owing to hardness during saw blade basement processing, medium and high carbon steel ensure that the Rockwell hardness (HRC) is between 18 and 26. The product has strong plasticity and may be used for tractor or car clutches. The cold rolling technique can be employed to achieve the high reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Bridge Steel

Bridge steel can handle the high load-bearing requirements of bridge design and retain structural integrity in adverse conditions because it is stronger, tougher, and more fatigue-resistant than regular structural steel.

 

Indeed, bridge steel typically resists corrosion well, particularly in conditions with high levels of moisture or salt, as those seen in coastal regions.

 

Yes, viaducts, tunnel supports, and other construction structures with a high load-bearing capacity can benefit from the great strength and longevity of bridge structural steel.
