Overview:

Low carbon steel strip, also known as soft steel, has a carbon content ranging from 0.10% to 0.30%. The use involves metal hose belts, flange packing belts, saw blade steel belts, blade steel belts, spring washers, bicycle steel belts, stationery steel belts, hair clips steel belts, electrical fasteners steel belts, armored cables steel belts, heat dissipation fins steel belts, prestressed corrugated pipes steel belts, clocks and watches steel belts, etc.

Low carbon steel is generally rolled into angle steel, channel steel, I-beam, steel pipe, steel strip, and steel plate, and is used to make various building components, containers, boxes, furnaces, and agricultural machinery. High quality low-carbon steel is rolled into thin sheets to produce deep drawn products such as car cabins and engine hood; It is also rolled into bars and used to make mechanical parts that do not require high strength. Low carbon steel generally does not undergo heat treatment before use. Parts with carbon content above 0.15% are carburized or cyanide treated, and are used for shafts, bushings, sprockets, and other parts that require high surface roughness and good wear resistance. Low carbon steel is limited in use due to its low strength. Properly increasing the manganese content in carbon steel and adding trace alloying elements such as vanadium, titanium, and niobium can greatly improve the strength of the steel. If the carbon content in steel is reduced and a small amount of aluminum, boron, and carbide forming elements are added, an ultra-low carbon bainite composition can be obtained, which has high strength and maintains good plasticity and toughness.
