Carbon steel is divided into low carbon steel (C≤0.25%), medium carbon steel (C 0.25%~0.6%) and high carbon steel (C≥0.6%) according to the carbon content. On the contrary, the lower the content, the lower the hardness, and the easier it is to process.
Carbon steel has high density (about 7.8g/cm³) and high strength, after years of development, there are many models, such as Q235, A36, 1045, and so on, you need to choose the right model according to the actual application. It is also necessary to consider the corresponding issues in advance during the machining process, such as the cutting of high-carbon steel needs to pay attention to the wear of the tool, and the sharp edge cracking of the parts needs to be paid attention to the low-carbon steel.
