Application of medium carbon steel

May 27, 2024

 

 

The application of medium carbon steel is mainly focused on manufacturing parts and components that require higher strength and wear resistance. This type of steel has high strength, hardness, good plasticity and toughness due to its carbon content between 0.25% and 0.60%, and is suitable for making various mechanical parts and engineering structural parts. 

 

 

What are the medium carbon steel specific applications?

Mechanical parts: Medium carbon steel is often used to manufacture gears, shafts, connecting rods, sleeves and other parts. These parts play a key role in machinery manufacturing and require high strength and hardness.

 

Engineering structural parts: Medium carbon steel is also used to make engineering structural parts, such as shafts, worms, gears for heavy machinery, pistons for air compressors and pumps, impellers for steam turbines, etc.

 

Wear-resistant parts and parts subject to large forces: No. 55 steel, as a medium carbon steel, is named for its carbon content of approximately 0.55%. It has good elasticity and hardness and is mainly used in the manufacture of wear-resistant parts and parts subject to large forces. Larger parts, such as connecting rods, gears, motorcycle hoops, rims, rims, rollers, flat springs, etc.

 

Automobile manufacturing: Medium carbon steel is widely used in the automobile manufacturing industry. It is often used to manufacture key components such as axles and frames to meet the requirements for strength and hardness.

 

Aerospace and military manufacturing: 30CrMnSiA is a medium carbon steel plate, also known as alloy structural steel. It is mostly used in the manufacturing of bearings, pistons and other parts in the automobile manufacturing industry and aircraft manufacturing industry. In addition, it is also widely used in aerospace and military manufacturing.

 

Others:The application of medium carbon steel is not limited to the above fields, but also plays an important role in engineering machinery, bearing manufacturing and other fields. Its good processability and weldability make it an indispensable material in various industrial fields.
