Thabiso Steel, a reputable manufacturer and supplier located in Cape Town, South Africa, is all about providing top-notch High Carbon Steel C45 Sheets and Plates. Known for their durability, precision, and impressive strength, these steel products are crafted to meet the rigorous demands of various industries. Thabiso Steel makes sure that every product meets international standards, offering outstanding machinability, wear resistance, and toughness. With a strong focus on innovation and keeping customers happy, the company serves a wide range of sectors, including engineering, automotive, and manufacturing, delivering reliable steel solutions that guarantee optimal performance and long-lasting results for critical applications.
High Carbon Steel C45 Sheets and Plates mainly consist of carbon (0.42–0.50%), manganese (0.50–0.80%), along with trace amounts of silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus. This specific mix gives the steel excellent hardness and strength after heat treatment. In terms of mechanics, C45 steel boasts a tensile strength of around 570–700 MPa and a Brinell hardness of 170–210 HB. It strikes a balance between good machinability and moderate weldability, along with high wear resistance, making it perfect for applications that need strong, durable, and impact-resistant materials.
