Different Types of Carbon Steel Plates

Generally, carbon steel plates are available in different types depending on the carbon content, making method, thickness, and usage. 

There are generally low, medium, high, and extra-high carbon steel plates according to the carbon content.

Low carbon: C content from 0.06% to 0.25%. It is also called a mild carbon plate.

Medium carbon: C content from 0.25% to 0.6%.

High carbon: C content from 0.6% to 0.95%.

Extra-high carbon: C content from 0.96% to 2.1%.

It should notice that as the content of carbon increases, the steel hardness increases, but the final plasticity reduces.
