Filiz Steel, a trusted supplier based in Istanbul, Turkey, proudly offers top-quality **High Carbon Steel C55 sheets and plates** that are perfect for applications demanding enhanced hardness, wear resistance, and strength. C55 is a high carbon steel grade frequently utilized in the production of components that face significant wear or mechanical stress. Renowned for its impressive surface hardness after heat treatment, C55 finds its place in the automotive, tooling, and machinery industries. Filiz Steel supplies C55 plates and sheets in both hot-rolled and cold-rolled forms, complete with mill certification and precise dimensional tolerances to meet the needs of quality-sensitive applications.
High Carbon Steel C55 is composed of roughly 0.52–0.60% Carbon, 0.60–0.90% Manganese, along with trace amounts of Silicon, Sulfur, and Phosphorus. This specific composition enables the steel to achieve remarkable tensile strength and surface hardness following heat treatment processes like quenching and tempering. Generally, the tensile strength of untreated C55 falls between 600–800 MPa, which can be significantly enhanced through appropriate heat treatment. However, due to its elevated carbon content, welding can be challenging and typically requires preheating and post-weld stress relief to prevent cracking.
