What is High Carbon Steel?

High-carbon steel is defined by its carbon content, which generally ranges from 0.60% to 1.25% (or even more) by weight. This high proportion of carbon gives it extraordinary hardness and wear resistance after undergoing appropriate heat treatments, such as quenching and tempering.

Unlike low- and medium-carbon steels, high-carbon steel is less ductile and more brittle in its annealed state , making machining and welding significantly more complex and requiring specialized techniques. However, its ability to achieve very high hardness makes it indispensable for applications where wear resistance, edge retention, and high strength are critical.

Key Properties of High Carbon Steel:

High Hardness: It can reach very high hardness levels through heat treatment.
Excellent Wear Resistance: Ideal for tools and components subject to abrasion and friction.
Good Tensile Strength and Yield Strength: Greater than steels with lower carbon content.
Superior Heat Treatability: Responds very well to quenching and tempering to optimize hardness, strength and toughness.
Low Ductility and Malleability: It is more brittle and difficult to cold form than other steels.
Very Limited Weldability: Requires very specific welding procedures and rigorous control to prevent cracking.

Features and Specifications of High Carbon Steel:

We market high carbon steel in a wide variety of forms and under various specifications to meet the needs of demanding industries:

Carbon Content: Typically between 0.60% and 1.25%, complying with international standards such as AISI 1060, 1070, 1080, 1095, GCr15 (bearing steel), among others.
Chemical Composition: In addition to carbon, it includes manganese, silicon and sometimes additional alloying elements (such as chromium, vanadium, molybdenum) to improve hardenability, wear resistance or toughness.
Format:
- Bars: Round, square, flat, for tools, springs, blades.
- Wire: For high strength springs, piano wires.
- Plates and Sheets: For blades, saws, flat springs.
- Forgings: For high-strength machinery components.
Supply Condition:
- Annealed: To improve machinability and prepare for heat treatment.
- Normalized: To refine the grain and homogenize the structure.
- Quenched and Tempered (Q&T): The final condition for most applications, optimizing hardness and toughness.

Main industrial applications of High Carbon Steel:

High Carbon Steel is essential in applications that demand maximum hardness and wear resistance:

Cutting Tools: Blades, saws, drill bits (when not using high speed steel).
Dies and Punches: For stamping, cutting and forming other metals.
High Strength Springs: Suspension springs, valve springs, leaf springs.
Bearings: Balls and rollers for bearings (high carbon steel alloyed with chromium).
High Strength Cables: For bridges, elevators, cranes.
Machinery Components: High-load gears, shafts, pinions where wear is a critical factor.
Musical Instruments: Piano Strings.
Fine Cutlery and Farm Tools: Where a long-lasting edge is required.

Marketing formats:

We supply high-carbon steel in the formats that best suit the logistics and needs of your project:

Per Ton (TM) or Kilogram (KG): We adapt to the volumes required by your production or project.
By Batch or Complete Project: Management of large and complex orders, ensuring consistency in quality.
Cut to Size: Possibility of supplying material with specific dimensions upon request to optimize your manufacturing process.
Packaging and Protection: The material is carefully packaged and protected to prevent damage during transport and storage, depending on the format (bar bundles, wire coils, etc.). Due to its susceptibility to corrosion, protective coatings are applied if necessary.

Logistics are tailored to each destination and volume, ensuring compliance with national and international regulations for the transportation of steel products, with safe and efficient handling.

Advantages of working without intermediaries
