ASC LLP – Your Trusted Carbon Steel Suppliers

Carbon steel products are a versatile alloy made of iron and carbon, used widely for its strength and durability. But what is carbon steel? It’s categorized by carbon content into grades such as high carbon steel and low carbon steel. High carbon steel, with 0.6%-1.0% carbon, is hard and strong, ideal for cutting tools. Low carbon steel, with up to 0.3% carbon, is more malleable and weldable, perfect for automotive panels.

Understanding the carbon steel grades chart helps in selecting the right type based on chemical composition and properties. Elements like manganese and silicon affect its hardness, ductility, and resistance to wear. This makes carbon steel essential in construction, manufacturing, and engineering. Its varied properties and grades ensure it meets diverse industrial needs effectively.
