Medium Carbon Steels


TSM Steel stocks medium carbon steel in a range of grades, forms and sizes to suit your commercial engineering requirements.

Our stock range serves as an excellent compromise between low-carbon and alloy steels. Low-carbon steels are ductile with less strength, while alloy steels offer even greater strength with reduced ductility. Medium-carbon steel performance is positioned in the middle, providing both performance benefits but not to extremes.

Our product range offers improved durability and toughness thanks to increased carbon content (between 0.30 to 0.60%). The automotive market utilises medium-carbon steel to produce precision components, axles and gears. Heat treating the material improves the mechanical properties of our products even further.


Features:
  • Improved strength
  • Greater durability & toughness
  • Offers some ductility
  • Heat-treatable
