The difference between carbon and steel plates

1. Different nature:

1. Carbon Steel Plate: iron carbon alloy with carbon content of 0.0218%~2.11%.

2, Steel Plate: a high-strength steel.

2. Different characteristics:

1, carbon steel plate characteristics:

(1) It contains small amounts of silicon, manganese, sulfur and phosphorus.

(2) The higher the carbon content in carbon steel, the higher the hardness and strength, and the lower the plasticity.

2, steel plate characteristics:

Under strong impact and extrusion conditions, the surface hardening is rapid, maintaining good toughness and plasticity of the core austenite, and the hardened layer has good wear resistance. This is incomparable to other materials. However, the wear resistance of the steel plate shows its superiority only when there are sufficient work hardening conditions, and in other cases it is very poor.

3. Different applications

1, carbon steel material application: mainly used in the manufacture of complex shapes, high mechanical properties, and in the process is difficult to use forging and other methods of forming more important mechanical parts, such as automobile gearbox shell, locomotive and vehicle couplings and couplings.

2, steel plate application:

(1) The resistance of the steel plate does not change much with temperature, and is used to manufacture precision electronic instruments.

(2) Steel plate is an excellent material for crushing parts.

Carbon steel plate and steel plate difference

Carbon steel plate is iron-carbon alloy material, steel plate has alloy steel, Stainless Steel, including carbon steel plate. Carbon steel plate has low carbon steel, medium carbon steel, high carbon steel plate, hardness strength increases with the increase of carbon content, such as the commonly used Q235 low carbon steel plate, there are 45 medium carbon steel plate.

Alloy steel plate is based on carbon steel adding alloying elements smelting, such as Q345 low alloy high strength manganese plate. Stainless plates contain chromium and chromium nickel alloy materials.
