carbon steel sheet metal grades

Steel is the magical metal that allows us to create a plethora of different objects in our world. Steel is created by combining iron and carbon. So just like paint and how mixing different colors creates new colors, the mixing together of iron and carbon creates different varieties of steel!

Iron is a strong, deep metal in the earth and is the basis of steel. A magical thing happens (if you believe the workers): adding carbon to iron! The more carbon the add, the tougher the steel becomes. But watch out: if you add too much carbon, the steel becomes too brittle, which is to say it will SHATTER.

Different Types of Carbon Steel Sheet Metal Grades

Soft steel is the cuddly neighbor of the steel family. It has a very small amount of carbon in it, making it really easy to bend and shape. Soft steel is like clay that can easily make anything. Soft steel is beloved by those who work in carving cars, farm tools and construction materials. They can bend it, twist it and shape it into almost anything they want.

Medium steel is sort of the older, tougher brother of soft steel. It has a higher amount of carbon, which makes it tougher and more durable. The(pipe) is a type of steel that is amazing for creating objects that screen toughness, except it makes use of stiffness. Medium steel is what machine builders turn into gears that whirr inside factories, into axles that lets wheels spin, into other critical parts. It’s less malleable than soft steel, but far more durable.
