Chemical Composition (GB/T 699-2015)

10# steel is a commonly used carbon structural steel, classified as low-carbon steel. Its "10#" designation originates from national standards and represents a carbon content of approximately 0.10%. This low carbon content gives 10# steel a certain toughness and plasticity, making it suitable for both machining and heat treatment.
10# steel is primarily composed of iron, with a carbon content between 0.08% and 0.12%. It also contains small amounts of silicon, manganese, and other elements. These elements contribute to its excellent workability and strength.


Advantages of 10# Steel Compared to Other Common Steels

1. Comparison with Q235 Steel
Q235 steel is also a common carbon structural steel, differing primarily in its chemical composition and properties. Q235 steel has a slightly lower carbon content, resulting in slightly greater toughness and weldability, but may be slightly inferior to 10# steel in terms of hardness and wear resistance. Both are suitable for use as structural materials, but 10# steel offers advantages in applications requiring higher mechanical properties.

2. Differences from Stainless Steel
Stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, but is also more expensive and difficult to process. In contrast, 10# steel is less expensive and suitable for use in environments where corrosion resistance is less critical.
