Carbon Steel Sheet Metal Fabrication

Carbon steel sheet metal fabrication transforms carbon steel sheets into custom components through processes such as laser cutting, metal bending, and welding. Known for its high strength, good formability, and cost-effectiveness, carbon steel is widely used to manufacture brackets, panels, enclosures, frames, and structural components.

Available Carbon Steel Types

Carbon Steel 1008

Carbon Steel 1008, also known as AISI 1008 or SAE 1008, is a low-carbon steel known for its excellent formability, good weldability, and relatively low strength compared with higher-carbon steels. Its low carbon content allows it to be readily cut, bent, stamped, deep drawn, and formed into a wide range of sheet metal shapes.

126 HB
Hardness
15%
Elongation at Break

Recommended Applications

Shields
Body Panels
Housings
Electrical Cabinets
Ductwork
Stamped Components

Carbon Steel 1018

Carbon Steel 1018, also known as AISI 1018, SAE 1018, or UNS G10180, is a low-carbon steel known for its good weldability, relatively good machinability, and ability to gain strength through cold working. It is widely available in sheet, strip, bar, and other forms and can be used for sheet metal fabrication when a balance of formability, strength, weldability, and cost is required.

Carbon Steel ASTM A1011

Carbon Steel ASTM A1011 refers to hot-rolled steel sheet and strip supplied in accordance with ASTM A1011/A1011M. The specification covers several categories of steel, including commercial steel, drawing steel, structural steel, high-strength low-alloy steel, high-strength low-alloy steel with improved formability, and ultra-high-strength steel.
