Carbon steel are the grades in which grades are defined by the % of carbon content.Carbon steel is a steel with carbon content ranging from about 0.05% up to 2.1% by weight. Carbon steel is broken down into four classes based on carbon content.


  • Carbon steel are the grades in which grades are defined by the % of carbon content.Carbon steel is a steel with carbon content ranging from about 0.05% up to 2.1% by weight. Carbon steel is broken down into four classes based on carbon content.
  • Low-carbon steel
  • 0.05 to 0.25% carbon (plain carbon steel) content.
  • Medium-carbon steel
  • Approximately 0.3–0.5% carbon content.
  • It balances ductility and strength and has good wear resistance. It is used for large parts, forging and automotive components.

  • High-carbon steel
  • Approximately the range of carbon content is 0.6 to 1.0%. It is very strong & used for springs, edged tools, and high-strength wires.
  • Ultra-high-carbon steel
  • Approximately the range of carbon content 1.25–2.0% .These steels can be tempered to great hardness. It is used for special purposes like (non-industrial-purpose) knives, axles or punches. Most steels with more than 2.5% carbon content are made using powder metallurgy.
