We manufacture forging ingots, billets, and blooms in carbon steel specifically for C-10, designed for very low strength engineering applications where exceptional formability, weldability, and surface finish are required.
C-10 is a very low carbon, unalloyed steel that provides excellent ductility, softness, and ease of fabrication. Due to its very low carbon content, this grade exhibits minimal hardenability and is ideal for cold forming, deep drawing, and welding operations.
This grade is widely used in applications where high strength is not required but consistent quality, easy processing, and cost-effectiveness are critical.
| Element | Content (%) | Function / effect |
| Carbon (c) | 0.08 – 0.12 | Ensures softness, high ductility, and excellent formability |
| Manganese (mn) | 0.25 – 0.50 | Improves toughness and machinability |
| Sulphur (s) | 0.050 max | Controlled to maintain toughness |
| Phosphorus (p) | 0.050 max | Limited to avoid brittleness |
| Silicon (si) | 0.05 – 0.30 | Acts as deoxidizer and improves strength |
| Chromium (cr) | Nil | Not intentionally added |
| Nickel (ni) | Nil | Not present |
| Molybdenum (mo) | Nil | Not present |
| Other elements | — | No significant alloying additions |
C10 Is Ideal For Applications Where Ease Of Forming, Welding, And Machining Is Critical. Its Low Carbon Content Ensures Excellent Ductility And Reduces The Risk Of Cracking During Processing. This Makes It Highly Suitable For Mass Production And Fabrication Industries.
| Grade | Carbon (%) | Strength level | Formability | Typical use |
| C-05 | 0.03 – 0.06 | Very low | Excellent | Deep drawn parts |
| C-10 | 0.08 – 0.12 | Low | Excellent | Forming & welding |
| C-15 | 0.12 – 0.18 | Low | Very good | General fabrication |
| C-20 | 0.17 – 0.23 | Low–medium | Good | Engineering parts |
| C-30 | 0.27 – 0.34 | Medium | Moderate | Shafts & axles |
C-10 carbon steel is a very low carbon grade ideal for applications requiring excellent formability, weldability, and surface quality. It is a preferred choice for fabricated and deep-drawn components where high strength is not a critical requirement.
