Advantages disadvantages of carbon steel

Due to the continuous development of urbanization construction, materials in the building materials market have emerged one after another. Although these materials are relatively common in our daily life, people who do  usually run in the building materials market may  know carbon steel. material, we will  understand its advantages  disadvantages,  even we will ignore its existence. Next, I will explain to you today what kind of material carbon steel is?  what are its advantages  disadvantages?

What kind of material is carbon steel? What are the advantages  disadvantages of carbon steel?

1. What is carbon steel?

The so-called carbon steel actually means that the mechanical properties depend on the carbon content in the steel. Generally, the steel without the addition of the master's alloying elements is also called ordinary carbon steel  carbon steel,  carbon steel is also called carbon steel. , refers to iron-carbon alloys with carbon content WC less than 2%, while carbon steel contains a small amount of silicon, manganese, sulfur  phosphorus in addition to carbon. Generally, the higher the carbon content in carbon steel, the greater the hardness  the higher the strength, but the lower the plasticity.

What material is carbon steel?

Second, what are the advantages  disadvantages of carbon steel?

advantage

1. Carbon steel can get higher hardness  better wear resistance after heat treatment.

2. The hardness of carbon steel in the annealed state is very moderate,  it also has good machinability.

3. The raw materials of carbon steel are very common, easy to obtain,  the production cost is relatively low.

shortcoming

1. The hot hardness of carbon steel will be poor, because when the working temperature of the tool is greater than 200 degrees, its hardness  wear resistance will drop sharply.

2. The hardenability of carbon steel is very low. The diameter of the fully hardened steel is generally about 15-18 mm during water quenching, while the diameter  thickness of carbon steel is only about 6 mm when it is  quenched, so it will be easier to deform  crack.
