A588 Carbon Steel Plate

High carbon steel is a type of steel with a higher carbon content, usually between 0.6% and 1.5%.
In addition to carbon, high carbon steel also contains a certain proportion of other alloying elements, such as manganese, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur and so on. The content and proportions of these alloying elements are adjusted according to the specific application requirements. High carbon steel has high hardness due to its high carbon content and is suitable for manufacturing parts that require high hardness and strength

Carbon Steel: Properties, Production, Examples and Applications

Name: A588 Carbon Steel Plate
SKU: 0

Carbon steel is an iron-carbon alloy, which contains up to 2.1 wt.% carbon. For carbon steels, there is no minimum specified content of other alloying elements, however, they often contain manganese. The maximum manganese, silicon and copper content should be less than 1.65 wt.%, 0.6 wt.% and 0.6 wt.%, respectively.

Types of carbon steel and their properties

Carbon steel can be classified into three categories according to its carbon content: low-carbon steel (or mild-carbon steel), medium-carbon steel and high-carbon steel [1]. Their carbon content, microstructure and properties compare as follows:

Carbon content (wt.%)	Microstructure	Properties	Examples
Low-carbon steel	< 0.25	Ferrite, pearlite	Low hardness and cost. High ductility, toughness, machinability and weldability
Medium-carbon steel	0.25 – 0.60	Martensite	Low hardenability, medium strength, ductility and toughness
High-carbon steel	0.60 – 1.25	Pearlite	High hardness, strength, low ductility

PRODUCT DETAILS

A588 Carbon Steel Plate Description

A588 carbon steel plate has been specially treated to show good corrosion resistance. It can resist corrosion from the atmosphere, sea water, salt spray and other environments, thus extending its service life. For another, A588 carbon steel plate is made of high-strength steel and has high yield strength and tensile strength, which can meet the requirements of various structural parts. The plate also has good welding performance, is easy to weld and process, and therefore improves the efficiency of engineering installation. A588 carbon steel plates are suitable for various structural parts that require corrosion resistance and high strength, such as bridges, buildings, ships, vehicles, etc.

Scope of Application

ASTM A588 steel is known for its weather resistance. When exposed to external conditions, its corrosion resistance becomes stronger even if it is not painted. ASTM A588 steel has four times the corrosion resistance of carbon steel. The application of ASTM A588 steel is very wide. In addition to its typical application in welded bridges and buildings, this specification is also widely used in railway passenger cars; including transmission towers and telephone towers, trucks, bridges and gusset plates, and housing shells. ASTM A588 steel also maintains a good strength-to-weight ratio, meeting the high strength requirements of carbon steel with less weight.
