What is the Difference between Carbon Steel Plates and Steel Plates?

Properties of Carbon Steel plates and steel plates

Carbon steel plate is an iron-carbon alloy with a carbon content of 0.0218% - 2.11%, sometimes also called plain carbon steel or carbon steel. In addition to carbon, it generally contains small amounts of silicon, manganese, sulfur, phosphorus and other elements. Due to their different carbon content, they can be subdivided into low carbon steel plates, medium carbon steel plates and high carbon steel plates, each with unique properties.

Steel plate is a broader concept. It is a general term for high-strength steel and covers many types. According to thickness, it can be divided into thin plate, medium plate, thick plate and extra thick plate; According to the production method, there are hot-rolled steel plates and cold-rolled steel plates; The steel plate family is very large, and carbon steel plate is just one of them.



Manufacturing technology of carbon steel plates and steel plates

Differences in thickness and mechanical properties of carbon steel plates also affect the manufacturing techniques that are appropriate for each material. Carbon steel plates are usually manufactured by processes such as rolling, stamping, bending and cutting. Its thin gauge allows for easy manipulation using these techniques, making it a versatile material for a wide range of applications.

On the other hand, due to the thicker plate gauge, more specialized manufacturing techniques are required. Steel plates are usually cut into the required shapes and sizes using processes such as flame cutting, plasma cutting and water jet cutting. Steel plates are also often welded to join multiple parts together to form larger structures or components. Welding plates requires special attention to ensure proper penetration and fusion of the weld, as thicker materials are more difficult to weld effectively.

Different application areas of carbon steel plates and steel plates

Carbon steel plates are widely used in the field of mechanical manufacturing due to their good comprehensive properties. For example, the gearbox housing of a car needs to have a certain strength and toughness to ensure the normal operation of the gearbox, and carbon steel plates can play this role well; The couplers and couplings of locomotive vehicles are also often made of carbon steel plates. They have to withstand large forces during the process of connection and power transmission. The high strength characteristics of carbon steel plates enable them to meet these requirements.
Steel plates are used more widely. When manufacturing precision electronic instruments, some special steel plates are used because their resistance does not change much with temperature, which can ensure the stability and accuracy of the instrument.

In the field of mining machinery, the crushing parts of the crusher need to withstand huge impact and wear. At this time, high-strength and high-wear-resistant steel plates become an ideal choice. For example, WNM450 steel plates are widely used in crushers and other mining equipment, effectively extending the service life of the equipment and improving work efficiency.
