Product Overview
High Carbon Steel Strip is the fundamental material for applications demanding exceptional strength, hardness, and wear resistance after heat treatment. With a carbon content typically ranging from 0.60% to 1.00%, it is the core choice for manufacturing cutting tools, springs, blades, and a wide range of industrial components requiring superior mechanical properties through precise quenching and tempering.

Key Features
- Superior Hardenability: High carbon content enables deep and uniform hardening after quenching, achieving high surface and core hardness.
- Excellent Wear & Abrasion Resistance: Ideal for components in constant sliding or cutting contact.
- Good Spring Properties: When properly heat-treated, it provides excellent elasticity and fatigue strength for spring applications.
- Cost-Effective Performance: Provides an optimal balance of performance and material cost for a wide range of industrial uses.
- Adaptable for Processing: Can be supplied in soft annealed condition for easy forming, stamping, or machining, followed by customer’s own heat treatment.
Applications
- Cutting & Blades: Band saw blades, hacksaw blades, industrial knives, slitter blades.
- Spring Components: Flat springs, spring clips, washers, snap rings.
- Tooling & Wear Parts: Punches, dies, guides, scraper blades, agricultural tines.
- Automotive & Hardware: Clutch discs, brake components, saw chains, hand tools.
- General Engineering: High-strength fasteners, shafts, and mechanical parts.
