Medium Carbon Steel<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Medium carbon steel is made by adding between 0.3% and 0.7% carbon\nto steel. In addition to adding carbon, the process of quenching and tempering\nis used to create this mid-range steel product, which involves heating and\ncooling the steel, and then softening it to produce a steady tensile strength\nthroughout, referred to as Martensite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medium carbon steel is often sought out for applications\nthat require high-tensile strength and ductility. Here are some of the top\nindustries you will find the use of this mid-range steel product:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

☑ Structural Steel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the top uses for medium carbon steel is to create\nother steel commodities for the construction of buildings, bridges, and\nroadways. Common products include steel beams, joints, joiner plates, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

☑ Pressured Structures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another common use for medium-carbon steel are pressured\nstructures due to its high ductility properties. Pressure structures refer to commodities\nthat use hot, high-pressure steam or water, such as boilers, pressurized tanks,\nwater heaters, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

☑ Shafts and Gearing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If familiar, you will notice that automotive and mechanical\nproducts are often manufactured with medium carbon steel, namely shafts and\ngear system components. Some examples might include axle shafts, crankshafts, gearing\nplates, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

☑ Railway Applications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The railway system strongly relies on medium carbon steel\nfor several applications, from manufacturing and engineering, to maintenance,\nsafety, and more. Some common applications include railway wheels, tracks,\nsuspensions, and all other metal-components involved in the railway\u2019 suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
