ASTM A517 Carbon Steel Plate

ASTM A517 Carbon Steel Plate.Carbon Steel Sheet is a kind of steel whose carbon content is less than 2.11% and does not specially participate in metal elements. It can also be called ordinary carbon steel or carbon steel. In addition to carbon, it also has a small amount of silicon, manganese, sulfur, phosphorus and other elements inside. The higher the carbon content, the better the hardness and strength will be, but the plasticity will be worse
advantage
1. After heat treatment, the hardness and wear resistance can be improved
2. Proper hardness and good machinability during annealing
3. Common production materials and low production cost
shortcoming
1. Poor thermal hardness. When used as tool material, when the temperature exceeds 220 ℃, the hardness and wear resistance will deteriorate.
2. Poor hardenability
classification
1. According to the purpose, it can be divided into structure, tool and free cutting structural steel
2. According to the smelting way, it can be divided into open hearth steel, converter steel and electric furnace steel

3. According to deoxidation route, it can be divided into boiling steel, killed steel, semi killed steel and special killed steel
