Carbon steel sheet/plate is a flat rolled steel product made primarily from iron and carbon. Due to its balanced strength, good formability, and cost-effectiveness, it is widely used in construction, manufacturing, and automotive sectors.

Categories and Material Properties

Carbon steel sheet/plate can be classified by carbon content:

Low carbon steel—high ductility for structural parts.

Medium carbon steel—higher strength for mechanical components.

High carbon steel—increased hardness suitable for wear-resistant uses.

Understanding these categories helps align material choice with performance requirements.

Common Specifications and Standards

Carbon steel sheets and plates are produced to ASTM, EN, JIS, and other international standards.

These specifications directly influence manufacturability and performance.

Applications of Carbon Steel Sheets & Plates

Carbon steel plates are used in building structures, bridges, machinery frames, pressure vessels, and support brackets due to their strength and reliable mechanical properties.
