Carbon Steel Flat Bars are mainly made of iron with a carefully controlled amount of carbon, usually between 0.05% and 0.30%. This specific composition strikes a perfect balance between strength and ductility. The mechanical properties include a tensile strength ranging from 400 to 550 MPa and a yield strength of about 250 MPa, depending on the grade. These bars also boast good machinability, weldability, and moderate hardness. They perform exceptionally well under stress, making them ideal for structural applications where both strength and formability are crucial, all while being more cost-effective than alloy steels.
