Is 50 steel a mild steel?

No. Generally, the mild steel is a kind of carbon steel with the carbon content below 0.25%. Strictly speaking, the 50#/S50C/1050 belongs to the middle carbon steel, which the carbon content is approximately 0.45%.

What metal is 50|S50C|1050

The 50/S50C/1050 is a kind of steel which the carbon content is appromately 0.45% and other elements can not affect its properties obviously.

What is S50C steel equivalent to?

The S50C is the Japanese brand and the execution standard in Japan is JISG4051。The Taiwan area of China also use this standard. This brand is quite similarly with the Chinese brand 45# and the USA brand 1045. These brand can be used universally.

Is 50 steel strong?

Compared with normal mild steel, the #50 (also known as S50C or 1050) steel has higher strength and hardness. Taking hot-rolled S235 and S50C as examples, the yield strength (Re) of S235 is equal to or higher than 235 MPa, while this value for 50# is generally 500-600 MPa. The surface hardness of S235 cannot be measured on the Rockwell Hardness Scale, while this value for #50/S50C/1050 is generally 2-5 HRC

The Enduring Charm of Middle Carbon Steel in Manufacturing

For over a millennium, humans have relied on middle carbon steel to craft essential tools and implements. From kitchen knives to farm shovels, this material has proven irreplaceable for certain products, showcasing its unique appeal.

Understanding Middle Carbon Steel

Middle carbon steel, a type of heat-treated steel, initially exhibits a relatively low hardness, ranging from 75-90 HBW. This makes it ideal for processes such as stamping, drilling, and large radius bending. Post-machining, the steel undergoes quenching and tempering to achieve the desired hardness and mechanical properties.

Applications and Advantages

The versatility of #45/S45C/1045 steel makes it particularly suitable for manufacturing components and parts with complex shapes. It offers enhanced strength, hardness, and wear resistance, making it a preferred choice in various industries.

Case Study: Car Safety Buckle

Consider the car safety buckle. During the initial manufacturing stages, the material must be easily stamped, requiring a lower hardness. However, in the later stages, higher strength is crucial. Middle carbon steel, specifically #50/S50C/1050, is chosen for this application due to its ability to meet these contrasting requirements effectively.

In conclusion, the middle carbon steel’s adaptability and durability continue to make it a cornerstone in the production of essential tools and components, ensuring its place in manufacturing for generations to come.

How Is 45 Carbon Steel Made?

The smelting process is basically the same for the #50/S50C/1050 and the normal mild steel, but more requirement for the purtity of steel for 45 steel. During the smelting process, the carbon element is added to the expected value and making the carbon element distriuted evenly by technical method.

What Are The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Using 45 Gauge Steel?

What Are the Disadvantages of Using 50 Carbon Steel?

The hardness of #50/S50C/1050 is in the range of 20-50HRC and it has both strength and hardness. In some certain applications circumstance, such as the automotive frame, the strength is required while the hardness is not considered, then the #50/S50C/1050 should not be used and the high strength steel should be considered. In addition, if the components need high hardness values, such as the main blade for branch shears which requires 55-60 HRC, the #50/S50C/1050can be used but the brittleness is high. Therefore, the #50/S50C/1050 do not have any availability and the high carbon steel such as SK5 or 1095 should be utilized. Furthermore, another obvious disadvantage for #50/S50C/1050 utilization is the heat treatment is essential, resulting in longer processing time and higher cost

What Are the Advantages of Using 50 Carbon Steel?

The 50/S50C/1050steel is a kind of high quality raw mateial for tools, farm implements and safety parts. A plenty of components is made by #45/S45C/1045 steel, such as metal fasteners for car seat belts and climbing belts, hardware in strollers, etc
