High Carbon Steel Coil Specifications
High carbon steel coils are available in different thicknesses, widths, surface conditions, and delivery states.
Typical commercial supply can include:
- Thickness: 0.30–12.0 mm
- Width: 20–1,500 mm

High Carbon Steel Chemical Composition
High carbon steel covers a relatively broad range of carbon contents. The exact chemistry depends on the selected grade.
Typical reference ranges include:
| Grade | Carbon Content | General Classification |
| SAE 1045 | Approx. 0.43–0.50% | Medium-high carbon |
| SAE 1060 | Approx. 0.55–0.65% | High carbon |
| SAE 1070 | Approx. 0.65–0.75% | High carbon |
| SAE 1080 | Approx. 0.75–0.88% | High carbon |
| SAE 1095 | Approx. 0.90–1.03% | Very high carbon |
Other alloying elements such as manganese, silicon, chromium, and others depend on the selected grade and applicable standard.
Final chemical requirements should always be based on the specified grade and standard.
High Carbon Steel Mechanical Properties
Mechanical properties vary substantially between grades and delivery conditions.
As a general reference:
| Grade | Typical Tensile Strength* | General Characteristic |
| SAE 1045 | Approx. 570–700 MPa | Good strength and machinability |
| SAE 1060 | Approx. 650–850 MPa | Higher strength and hardness |
| SAE 1070 | Approx. 700–900 MPa | Spring and wear applications |
| SAE 1080 | Approx. 750–950 MPa | High strength and hardenability |
| SAE 1095 | Approx. 800–1,000 MPa | High hardness potential |
*Mechanical properties depend strongly on product thickness, rolling condition, annealing condition, and heat treatment. Hardened and tempered products can achieve substantially higher strength and hardness.
For high carbon steel, the final heat treatment condition is often as important as the nominal grade when selecting material for a finished component.

Typical preparation includes:
- Steel strapping
- Waterproof wrapping
- Coil securing
- Shipping marks
Packaging is adjusted according to coil weight, dimensions, loading method, and destination.
