high carbon steel sheet
high carbon steel sheet
High carbon steel sheet is a type of steel with a carbon content higher than 0.6%, typically ranging from 0.6% to 1.5% or even more. This high carbon content provides exceptional hardness and strength while significantly enhancing wear resistance, making it ideal for applications involving repeated friction and heavy loads.
High carbon steel sheets are commonly available on the market in both coil and flat sheet forms, offered in hot rolled and cold rolled conditions. Standard grades such as 1060, 1095, and 1045 are widely used. ZhaojianSteel offers high carbon steel sheets in a variety of specifications, with services including custom cutting, surface treatments (such as annealing, phosphating, and oiling), slitting, and tailored packaging, designed to meet diverse processing and application needs.

High Carbon Steel Sheet Manufacturing Process
- Steelmaking & Alloying: Steel is melted in furnaces and alloyed with carbon (0.6–1.5%) to achieve required strength.
- Continuous Casting: Molten steel is cast into slabs with uniform structure and fewer defects.
- Hot Rolling & Pickling: Slabs are hot rolled, then pickled to remove scale and prepare for further processing.
- Cold Rolling (Optional): Sheets may be cold rolled for better precision and surface finish.
- Heat & Surface Treatment: Annealing and surface coatings improve ductility, corrosion resistance, and appearance.
- Cutting & Packaging: Final products are cut to size and securely packed for delivery.
FAQ
Welding is difficult because of high hardness; preheating and post-weld heat treatment are needed to prevent cracks.
Generally, our delivery time ranges from 15 to 45 days. For large-volume orders or special requirements, the lead time may be longer.
