What is Carbon Steel fittings？

Carbon steel fittings are mechanical parts or connecting components made from carbon steel (with a carbon content of 0.02% -2.11%) as raw material, widely used in the industrial field.
classification
According to carbon content, it can be divided into three categories:
Low carbon steel (0.02% -0.25%): excellent plasticity and toughness, used for making pressure resistant and corrosion-resistant parts, such as containers and pipelines;
Medium carbon steel (0.25% -0.60%): balanced strength and toughness, suitable for components such as shafts and gears that withstand high stress;
High carbon steel (0.60% -2.11%): with the highest hardness but greater brittleness, used for manufacturing tools such as cutting tools and molds.  ‌
industrial applications
Commonly found in fields such as petrochemicals, electricity, and automobile manufacturing, for example:
Carbon steel fittings (such as elbows, flanges, tees) are used for industrial pipeline connections;  ‌
The wear resistance of carburized parts (such as gears and short shafts) is enhanced after surface quenching treatment;  ‌
Spring components, such as valve springs, utilize their high elasticity properties.  ‌
feature
Carbon steel has low cost and good processing performance, but it is prone to rusting and needs to be coated with anti rust oil or alloyed to improve its corrosion resistance.
