ASTM A105 carbon steel plate advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of carbon steel plates are:
1. After heat treatment, the hardness and wear resistance can be improved.
2. When annealing, the hardness is appropriate and the cutting ability is good.
3. Its raw materials are very common, so it is easy to find, so the production cost is not high.
The disadvantages of carbon steel plates are:
1. His thermal hardness is not good. When used as a cutting tool material, if the temperature exceeds 200 degrees, the hardness and wear resistance will deteriorate.
2. His hardenability is poor. When water quenched, the diameter is usually maintained at 15 to 18 millimeters, while when not quenched, the diameter and thickness are usually 6 millimeters, making it prone to deformation or cracking.

Product Details

A105 is the American ASTM standard number, and A represents ordinary carbon structural steel.
Standard name: "ASTMA105/A105M carbon steel forgings for piping components". Because this standard only stipulates one kind of carbon steel forging, A105 is also considered as a kind of forging carbon steel grade. A105 is also a material code, which belongs to special steel and is a kind of cold forged steel.
