Characteristics
Carbon steel types include low, medium and high carbon content steels whose chemical composition is defined in broad ranges. Low-carbon steel has 0.30% or less carbon; medium-carbon steel has 0.30%-0.60%, and high-carbon steel has 0.60%-1.00% carbon content.
Applications
Levers, seals and springs, bolts, pins and nuts. In wire form it is used in the manufacture of high-strength, hardened shank nails.
