Detailed Engineering Specifications

Specified by design engineers worldwide, this carbon steel stock sheet offers a nominal thickness of 0.134" (approximately 3.4 mm) with a ±0.005" tolerance. The sheet measures 47 inches in length and 31 inches in width, providing ample surface area for diverse manufacturing processes. Composed primarily of iron with a controlled carbon content, typically between 0.15% and 1.7%, it exhibits excellent hardness, tensile strength, and weldability. Its uniform grain structure ensures consistent performance in abrasive and polishing operations, resisting deformation under pressure. This material is suitable for applications requiring a balance of durability and machinability, including die construction, specialized tooling, and heavy-duty finishing surfaces.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong thickness for the intended load or abrasive action.Consult engineering drawings and load calculations to select the appropriate sheet thickness for optimal performance and longevity.
Inadequate surface preparation before abrasive or polishing operations.Thoroughly clean and degrease the carbon steel surface to ensure uniform material removal and prevent adhesion of abrasive particles.

Common Applications

  • Abrasive backing plates
  • Polishing platen construction
  • Industrial tooling and dies
