Carbon steel is a fundamental material in the metalworking industry and a cornerstone of our offerings at ES Precision Metals. It is an alloy made primarily of iron, with carbon content between 0.02% and 2.14%. This wide range in carbon content gives carbon steel a variety of mechanical properties, making it suitable for a vast array of applications.

There are three main categories of carbon steel: low, medium, and high carbon steel. Each category has its distinct characteristics and uses:

• 1018
• 1045
• 1117
• 11L17
• 1141
• 11L41
• 1144
• 1144/Stressproof
• 12L14
• 1215

Carbon steel’s properties can be further enhanced through various heat treatments and alloying with other elements, such as manganese, silicon, and copper, to increase its strength, corrosion resistance, and other properties.
