Carbon steel rod is a fundamental material widely used in construction, machinery manufacturing, automotive, and industrial applications. Known for its strength, durability, and versatility, carbon steel rod provides reliable performance in both structural and mechanical environments.
GengFei Steel supplies high-quality carbon steel rods to customers worldwide, offering a wide range of grades, sizes, and specifications to meet diverse project requirements.
What Is Carbon Steel Rod?
Carbon steel rod is a solid cylindrical steel product made primarily from iron and carbon. The carbon content determines the material’s hardness, strength, and ductility, allowing it to be classified into low, medium, and high carbon steel.
These rods are commonly produced through hot rolling or cold drawing processes, ensuring consistent mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy.
Types of Carbon Steel Rod
Low Carbon Steel Rod
Offers excellent ductility and weldability, suitable for general fabrication and structural use.
Medium Carbon Steel Rod
Provides a balance between strength and toughness, commonly used in mechanical components.
High Carbon Steel Rod
Features higher hardness and wear resistance, ideal for tools, springs, and high-stress applications.
Chemical Composition (Typical)
| Element | Content (%) |
|---|---|
| Carbon (C) | 0.05 – 0.80 |
| Manganese (Mn) | 0.30 – 1.50 |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 0.40 |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.05 |
| Phosphorus (P) | ≤ 0.05 |
The exact composition varies depending on the grade and application.
Mechanical Properties
| Property | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | 370 – 800 MPa |
| Yield Strength | ≥ 235 MPa |
| Elongation | ≥ 15% |
| Hardness | 120 – 250 HB |
These properties ensure reliable performance across a wide range of industrial uses.
