Description

Carbon steels, which include most AISI-SAE grades in the 1000 range, are classified by their level of carbon content as low (below 0.3%), medium (0.3% to 0.6%) and high (0.6% and above). Alloy steels, which include AISI-SAE grades in the 1300 and 4000 ranges and above, incorporate elements such as chromium, molybdenum, and nickel to modify properties like machinability and corrosion resistance. The A36 carbon steel grade is a structural steel that has better formability than 1018 carbon steel. Wear resistance indicates the ability to prevent surface damage caused by contact with other surfaces. The A36 carbon steel sheet has been precision ground, meets American Society for Testing and Materials International ASTM A36 specifications, and has a standard tolerance. Tool steels, which include most grades with a letter and number grade designation, have high carbide content for wear resistance, high hardness, and the ability to hold a cutting edge. Toughnessdescribes the material's ability to absorb energy before breaking, while hardness (commonly measured as indentation hardness) describes its resistance to permanent surface deformation. Machinability describes how easily it can be cut, shaped, finished, or otherwise machined, while weldability characterizes the ability to be welded. Formability indicates how easily the material can be permanently shaped.

Key Features

• Alloy steels, which include AISI-SAE grades in the 1300 and 4000 ranges and above, incorporate elements such as chromium, molybdenum, and nickel to modify properties like machinability and corrosion resistance.
• Carbon steels, which include most AISI-SAE grades in the 1000 range, are classified by their level of carbon content as low (below 0.3%), medium (0.3% to 0.6%) and high (0.6% and above).
• In general, steels with higher carbon content have greater strength, hardness, and wear resistance, while those with lower carbon content have more formability, weldability, and toughness.
• The A36 carbon steel sheet has been precision ground, meets American Society for Testing and Materials International ASTM A36 specifications, and has a standard tolerance.
• The A36 carbon steel grade is a structural steel that has better formability than 1018 carbon steel.
• The sheet has been ground to achieve the precise shape and size.Steel is an iron alloy with carbon and other elements that modify the steel to achieve specific properties.
