Carbon Steel Forgings

Carbon steel is available in grades from C1006 up to C1095, with the carbon increasing from 0.06% to 0.95%. The range of both carbon and manganese contents in carbon steels allows for development of a very wide range of strength, toughness and wear resistance values. Increases in carbon and manganese result in increased strength and hardness following heat treatment, and the optimum combinations of strength, hardness, toughness and wear resistance may be obtained within the appropriate carbon steel analysis ranges.
