Carbon steel pipe is made of an iron-carbon alloy with a carbon content of no more than 2.11%, which is an important steel material. The higher the carbon content, the higher the hardness and strength. Low carbon steel pipe refers to a carbon steel pipe with a carbon content of less than 0.25%. Its material is softer than that of carbon steel pipe, but it has good ductility and weldability.
Specific differences:
1. Different composition
Low carbon steel pipe is a steel pipe with a low carbon content, usually not exceeding 0.25%. Carbon steel pipe has a higher carbon content, usually between 0.5% and 1.5%. In addition, some alloy elements (such as manganese, chromium, titanium, etc.) may be added to carbon steel pipes and low carbon steel pipes to improve their mechanical properties, such as strength, toughness and corrosion resistance.
2. Different uses
Low carbon steel pipes are usually used in general construction, machinery manufacturing and fluid transportation, such as building structure support, furniture manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, water pipelines, gas pipelines, oil pipelines, etc. Carbon steel pipes are more suitable for transportation and processing under high pressure, high temperature, and chemical corrosion environments, such as automobile engine exhaust pipes, boiler pipes, and petrochemical equipment pipelines.
3. Different processing methods
Since carbon steel pipes have higher strength and toughness, they need to be processed by high temperature heat treatment or hot rolling for better shaping. Low carbon steel pipes can be cold processed, such as cold drawing and cold rolling. In addition, during the processing of carbon steel pipes, it is necessary to avoid the influence of hydrogen embrittlement to ensure the stability and quality of its material.
