A573/A573M Carbon Steel Plate

ASTM A573/A573M grades include 58, 65 and 70. Steel plates are suitable for structural carbon-manganese-silicon steel plates with three tensile strength ranges. ASTM A573/A573M steel plates are mainly used to improve notch toughness at room temperature.

Carbon Steel: Properties, Production, Examples and Applications

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.%)MicrostructurePropertiesExamples
Low-carbon steel< 0.25Ferrite, pearliteLow hardness and cost. High ductility, toughness, machinability and weldabilityAISI 304, ASTM A815, AISI 316L
Medium-carbon steel0.25 – 0.60MartensiteLow hardenability, medium strength, ductility and toughnessAISI 409, ASTM A29, SCM435
High-carbon steel0.60 – 1.25PearliteHigh hardness, strength, low ductilityAISI 440C, EN 10088-3
