Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this 0.511" (13mm) thick carbon steel stock sheet offers exceptional dimensional stability for precision fabrication. Composed of mild carbon steel (e.g., ASTM A36 or equivalent), it exhibits a tensile strength typically ranging from 400-550 MPa and a yield strength of at least 250 MPa, making it ideal for applications requiring high load-bearing capacity and weldability. Its precise dimensions of 16" (406mm) length and 24" (610mm) width facilitate integration into complex assemblies and custom component manufacturing.
