What is the carbon content of thread steel?
Steel is very commonly used in the construction industry, so the wire in the production is there are some matters needing attention, such as the carbon content in steel, this is a very important decision index of thread steel hardness, so the carbon content in the steel is very important.
It is understood that carbon is the main element determining the performance of steel, because changes in carbon content directly lead to changes in crystal structure. With the increase of carbon content, the strength and hardness of the threaded steel increase, while the plasticity and toughness decrease. When the carbon content is more than 1%, the strength of the rebar decreases. The increase of carbon content also reduces the weldability and corrosion resistance of steel, and increases the cold brittleness and aging tendency of steel.
The carbon content in the threaded steel is best about 1%, so that it can not only ensure the strength and hardness of the thread steel, but also ensure its plasticity and toughness.
