Carbon Steel IS 1079 Plates

Carbon Steel IS 1079 is a high carbon steel group commonly used to produce plates for industries. It is used for the very high hardness, strength and wear resistance it has acquired. The material is characterised by a carbon content between 0.50% and 0.60%, increasing its hardness for applications under high stress. It has a higher carbon content than most other low-carbon steel products, making it slightly less ductile. IS 1079 plates have their application in areas where wear resistance and strength form the basic requirement. 

Advantages of Carbon Steel 1079 Plates

These flexible Plates offer numerous benefits for various industrial applications.

• High Strength and Hardness: IS 1079 has a relatively high carbon content of between 0.50% and 0.60%, which makes it strong and hard. 
• Wear and Abrasion Resistance: Carbon Steel IS 1079 has a high degree of hardness and good wear and abrasion characteristics. This makes it fit well in the following industries where materials are subjected to friction and wear, such as cutting tools, dies, and machinery parts.
• Good Toughness: Carbon Steel IS 1079 is very hard, and it also has good toughness so that it can not get fractured when pressure is applied. 
• Heat Treatability: The steel can be heat-treated to further improve its hardness and strength. Since the heat treatment process is regulated, Carbon Steel IS 1079 can be altered to suit the performance characteristic of a particular application.
• Excellent Machinability: IS 1079 Carbon Steel is easy to work with or easily machinable and thus can be shaped and formed into various shapes and sizes to high tolerances. 
• Cost-Effective: Carbon Steel IS 1079 is cheaper than most high-alloy steels; however, this material meets most of the mechanical requirements of steel. This makes it a good option for large scale production for manufacturing industries.
• Versatility in Applications: The material is versatile and can be applied in the automotive, engineering, construction and tool industries. 

The Carbon Steel 1079 Plate offers several advantages that make it suitable for industrial and commercial applications.

Applications of  Carbon Steel 1079 Plates

Due to its excellent features, the Carbon Steel 1079 Plate is preferred in various industrial applications. Some of the main applications include.

• Structural Components in Construction: Carbon Steel 1079 plates are used to construct buildings, bridges and other constructions. These plates are employed in beams, columns and supports because of their high strength ability, making structures durable.
• Heavy Machinery Manufacturing: Steel is used to construct rugged machinery parts such as frames, chassis and structural parts for products expected to bear mechanical loads, vibrations and impacts.
• Automotive Industry: 1079 Carbon Steel Plates are widely used in automotive industries for manufacturing car frames, panels and structural members. This steel has high tensile strength and can, therefore be used where automotive parts require high strength and are subjected to mechanical loads.
• Shipbuilding and Marine Industry: This steel grade is applied in the shipbuilding industry to construct hulls, decks and other parts of the ship. It is also very strong and hard-wearing and able to withstand the more abrasive marine environment conditions.
• Railroad Construction: It is widely applied in constructing rails, rails sleepers, and structures of bridges and railway stations. Because of its strength in withstanding mechanical stress and dynamic loads, it is ideal for railway construction.
• Oil & Gas Industry: Carbon Steel 1079 plates are used in pipelines, storage tanks, pressure vessels and other oil and gas industry sectors. Due to its high pressure tolerance, the material can be used to transport and store hydrocarbons and chemicals.
• Power Generation: These plates manufacture boilers, pressure vessels, and other power plant parts. Its high strength also means that the parts can perform well under high temperatures, which is typical of energy generation.

Carbon Steel 1079 Plates are applied across various industries due to their valuable features, which make them versatile.
