Carbon Steel Machining Services
Carbon steel refers to steel with a carbon content of more than 0.02% and less than 2% (more than 2% is called cast iron, and less than 0.02% is called wrought iron), and with few other elements. It is also the metal material with the highest production.
Compared to alloy steel which has more elements (not impurities) steel, carbon steel is commonly used in metal parts that need high strength, hardness, and wear resistance. The more carbon content of the steel, the higher the hardness, strength, and wear resistance after heat treatment.
It depends on the mechanical properties of tensile strength, fatigue strength, yield strength, impact resistance, and heat treatment process, whether carbon steel is suitable for specific parts or not. If the properties of carbon steel can meet the requirements of the part, carbon steel has a price advantage over other steel.
WKPT mainly uses bar steel, or various types of carbon steel sheets which are cut and rolled for material machining. It can be applied to metal products, mechanical equipment, transportation tools, molds, pressure vessels, boiler parts, as well as pipelines and rails, etc.

High Carbon Steel
High Carbon Steel contains carbon from 0.6% to 2%, as known with a long tempering time and high carbon content. It is commonly used in bearings, knives, rails, steel frame molds (used to shape steel), and steel doors. -
Mid Carbon Steel
Mid Carbon Steel contains carbon from 0.3% to 0.6%, as known as with a shorter tempering time than high carbon steel and moderate carbon content. Its properties are between high carbon steel and low carbon steel. It is mainly used in the manufacturing of stainless steel. -
Low Carbon Steel
Low Carbon Steel contains carbon from 0.02% to 0.3%, is known for its short tempering time, soft, stamping-resistant, and malleable. It is mainly used in the manufacturing of steel bars, stamping-resistant parts, special steels, etc...
