Introduction to Carbon Steel Coil

A carbon steel coil is a long, continuous strip of carbon steel that is rolled into a coil for easy handling, storage, and processing. Carbon steel contains iron and carbon as the main elements, with very low amounts of other alloying elements.

Key Features

  • High Strength: Carbon steel provides excellent hardness and mechanical strength.

  • Good Workability: It can be cut, welded, punched, and formed into many shapes.

  • Cost-Effective: More affordable than stainless steel or alloy steel.

  • Wide Range of Grades: From low-carbon to high-carbon steel, depending on the application.

Common Types

  • Low-Carbon Steel (Mild Steel): Easy to form and weld; used for general fabrication.

  • Medium-Carbon Steel: Higher strength; used for automotive and structural parts.

  • High-Carbon Steel: Very hard and wear-resistant; used for tools, springs, and blades.

Applications

Carbon steel coils are widely used in:

  • Construction and structural components

  • Automotive parts

  • Machinery and equipment

  • Pipes and tubes

  • Metal stamping and fabrication
