ASTM A-1008 CS Typ A, B, C Carbon Steel Sheet - China Back Iron Plate

Product Description

The ASTM A-1008 Carbon Steel Plate represents more than just a sheet of metal—it is the backbone of countless industries worldwide. Crafted under strict ASTM standards, this cold rolled steel provides a perfect blend of strength, ductility, and reliability.

Each grade serves a unique purpose:

• CS Type A delivers superior formability for deep drawing and stamping.

• CS Type B balances strength with flexibility for general manufacturing.

• CS Type C offers higher strength where structural stability is critical.

  
  

Its smooth, clean surface feels almost silky to the touch, making it an excellent base for painting, coating, or galvanizing. The consistency of thickness ensures that manufacturers experience minimal waste and maximum precision during fabrication. For buyers, this means lower production costs and products that meet international quality standards without compromise.

Mechanical Properties & Chemical Composition

This balance of low carbon content with controlled manganese ensures excellent weldability and toughness, while maintaining flexibility needed for forming operations.

Manufacturing Process & Surface Treatments

The journey of an ASTM A-1008 sheet begins with carefully selected raw material. Through cold rolling, the steel undergoes multiple passes, achieving not only dimensional accuracy but also a smooth, reflective surface. This process tightens grain structure, enhancing strength while maintaining flexibility.

Surface treatments available:

• Pickled & Oiled: A thin protective oil film prevents corrosion during transit and storage.

• Mill Finish: Natural cold rolled finish for general use.

• Customized Coatings: Zinc, paint, or galvanization available upon request.

Clients often describe the cold rolled sheets as having a cool, mirror-like feel, representing the precision of modern steelmaking.
