● 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.
SS400, SS490, SS540 are JIS standard cold-rolled steel coils, graded by strength. SS400 (tensile 400-510 MPa) offers basic strength, used in general structures. SS490 (tensile 490-610 MPa) provides higher strength for medium-load parts like machinery components. SS540 (tensile ≥540 MPa) is high-strength, suited for heavy-duty applications. All have good weldability and formability, with cold-rolled precision. Widely applied in construction, automotive, and engineering, balancing performance and versatility across load requirements.
