T12 High Carbon Steel Plate For Constraction

About this product

T12 High Carbon Steel Plate is a type of carbon tool steel with a carbon content of around 1.2%. It offers extremely high hardness and excellent wear - resistance after heat treatment, making it ideal for manufacturing cutting tools, dies, and wear - resistant parts. However, its toughness is relatively low, which means it may be prone to cracking under impact. Proper machining and heat treatment processes are essential to fully utilize its performance advantages.

Advantages of T12 High Carbon Steel Plate

Advantage: Description High Hardness: Achieves around HRC 60 - 65 after heat treatment, resists wear and deformation, suitable for cutting tools and dies. Excellent Wear Resistance: Carbides formed by high carbon content provide good wear resistance, maintain dimensional stability and surface quality under long-term friction. Good Dimensional Stability: Low thermal expansion coefficient, little dimensional change during heat treatment and use, beneficial for high-precision applications. High Compressive Strength: Can withstand significant pressure without deformation, applicable to dies and molds under high pressure.

FAQ

Q: What is T12 steel?

A: T12 is a high-carbon tool steel (1.15–1.24% carbon) known for its extreme hardness and wear resistance, commonly used for cutting tools, blades, and wear-resistant parts.

Q: What are the main advantages of T12 High Carbon Steel Plate?

A: Its main advantages include high hardness (up to around HRC 60 - 65 after heat treatment), excellent wear resistance due to carbide formation, good dimensional stability, high compressive strength, and relatively low cost compared to some alloy tool steels.

Q: Is it easy to machine?

A: No. Its high hardness needs special cutting tools like carbide - tipped ones.

Q: How to package it?

A: Coated with anti - rust oil, wrapped in plastic/kraft paper, and packed in wooden crates.

Q:What is your minimum order quantity?

A: Usually 10 tons, special circumstances can be negotiated.
