Our carbon steel products are known for superior strength, toughness, and reliability. Manufactured as per ASTM and ASME standards, they are widely used in oil & gas, power plants, construction, petrochemical, and marine industries for high-performance applications.

Types of Carbon Steel

  • Low Carbon Steel (Mild Steel): Highly ductile, formable, and easy to weld, ideal for a wide range of everyday items.
  • Medium Carbon Steel: Good balance of strength and ductility, often heat-treated for enhanced mechanical properties.
  • High Carbon Steel: Very strong and hard but less ductile, suitable for high-wear applications.
  • Ultra-High Carbon Steel: Highest carbon content, extremely hard but brittle.

Carbon Steel Chemical Composition

Carbon steel primarily consists of iron and carbon, with carbon typically ranging from 0.05% to 2.00%, which determines its strength, hardness, and ductility. It also contains manganese, silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus in controlled amounts to improve strength, machinability, and overall performance. The exact chemical composition varies by grade and standard, with limits specified according to ASTM, ASME, EN, or other applicable material specifications.

Low Carbon Steel Chemical Composition

Low carbon steel is easy to shape and weld, making it a common choice for general construction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Carbon steel is an iron-carbon alloy with little to no chromium, making it more susceptible to rust than stainless steel. It is stronger and harder at higher carbon levels but lacks the corrosion resistance that chromium provides in stainless steel.
Carbon steel is classified into four types: Low Carbon Steel (mild steel, up to 0.30% C), Medium Carbon Steel (0.30–0.60% C), High Carbon Steel (0.60–1.00% C), and Ultra-High Carbon Steel (above 1.00% C). Each type offers different strength, hardness, and ductility characteristics.
Grade A36 is the most widely used carbon steel for structural and construction applications. It offers good weldability, formability, and strength, making it ideal for beams, columns, bridges, and general fabrication work.
Low and medium carbon steels (like 1018 and A36) are highly weldable. High carbon steels require preheating and post-weld heat treatment to avoid cracking. The higher the carbon content, the more care is needed during welding.
Carbon steel is used across construction, oil & gas, power generation, automotive, shipbuilding, petrochemical, and heavy machinery industries. Its high strength and cost-effectiveness make it one of the most widely used metals globally.
Our carbon steel products are manufactured and tested as per ASTM, ASME, ANSI, DIN, and IS standards. Each product comes with mill test certificates ensuring compliance with chemical composition, mechanical properties, and dimensional tolerances.
