They are also known as plain carbon or unalloyed machine manufacturing steel. Manufacturing steels are non-alloy steels containing approximately 0.20-0.60% carbon. They are also referred to as carbon steel due to the high amount of carbon they contain. While the hardenability of manufacturing steel increases in parallel with the amount of carbon it contains, its toughness is inversely proportional to the amount of carbon. Low alloy steels are preferred in applications where higher hardenability is expected.
Manufacturing steels are frequently used in machine parts that do not require high strength. By using parts such as shafts, pins, gears, gear parts, bolts and axles; In vehicle, engine, machinery and apparatus construction; Manufacturing steel is used in hooks and die sets. Especially the machinery manufacturing sector prefers manufacturing steels.
