Sarbon Steel

Carbon steel is ideal for die forgings since it increases the strength of the material by eliminating flaws like air bubbles. It has excellent structural integrity due to its sturdy grain structure, which can withstand heavy stresses, impacts, and loads. Its many advantages include:

● Strength: Carbon steel has excellent strength and toughness, making it an ideal material for forging. Carbon steel forgings are stronger and more durable than cast iron, aluminum, or brass forgings.
● Versatility: Carbon steel forgings can be produced in various shapes and sizes, making them ideal for various applications. They can be forged into intricate shapes and have high dimensional accuracy.
● Cost-effective: Carbon steel is relatively inexpensive compared to other materials such as stainless steel or titanium. It makes it a cost-effective option for many forging applications.
● Machinability: Carbon steel forgings are easy to machine, which makes them ideal for many industries. They can be easily drilled, milled, and turned to meet specific requirements.
● Heat-treatable: Carbon steel forgings can be heat-treated to improve strength and hardness. It makes them ideal for applications where high strength is required.
● Corrosion-resistant: Carbon steel forgings are generally corrosion-resistant, making them ideal for harsh environments.

Base on the percentage of carbon contain it mainly classified in to 4 types

● Low Carbon Steel – Composition of 0.05%-0.25% carbon and up to 0.4% manganese. Also known as mild steel, it is a low-cost material that is easy to shape. While not as hard as higher-carbon steels, carburizing can increase its surface hardness.
● Medium Carbon Steel – Composition of 0.29%-0.54% carbon, with 0.60%-1.65% manganese. Medium carbon steel is ductile and strong, with long-wearing properties.
● High Carbon Steel – Composition of 0.55%-0.95% carbon, with 0.30%-0.90% manganese. It is very strong and holds shape memory well, making it ideal for springs and wire.
● Very High Carbon Steel - Composition of 0.96%-2.1% carbon. Its high carbon content makes it an extremely strong material. Due to its brittleness, this grade requires special handling.
