● A carbon steel coil is a continuous, rolled sheet of carbon steel (iron-carbon alloy) wound into a coil shape. Classified by carbon content (low, medium, high), it balances formability, strength, and cost.
● Low-carbon coils (e.g., A36) offer ductility and weldability, ideal for automotive parts or construction. Medium-carbon variants provide higher strength, used in machinery. High-carbon types are hard but less flexible, suited for tools.
● Available in various thicknesses and widths, these coils are unrolled for cutting, stamping, or forming. Common in manufacturing, construction, and metalworking, they serve as raw material for pipes, panels, and structural components.
A283 carbon steel coil is a low-carbon (max 0.27% C) material meeting ASTM standards, available in grades A-D. It offers moderate strength (tensile 310–515 MPa) with excellent weldability and formability. Easy to machine, cut, or bend, it’s cost-effective for non-high-stress applications: structural frames, tanks, piping, and general fabrication. Ideal for projects needing versatility and affordability over high-strength alloys.
