Our products include Carbon Steel Fittings, Carbon Steel Flanges, and Carbon Steel Fasteners, all made to meet international standards.

In this guide, we will help you understand what carbon steel is, why it is important, and what types of carbon steel products we offer.

What is Carbon Steel?

Carbon Steel is a type of steel that has a higher amount of carbon compared to other steels. The amount of carbon in the steel affects its strength, hardness, and flexibility.

Carbon steel does not have large amounts of other elements like chromium or nickel, which are found in stainless steel. This makes it a simpler and more affordable option, especially when high strength is required.

Types of Carbon Steel

There are three main types of carbon steel, depending on the amount of carbon they contain:

1. Low Carbon Steel (also called Mild Steel)

  • Contains less than 0.25% carbon.
  • It is soft, easy to bend, and very easy to weld.
  • Used in construction, pipelines, and automobile body parts.
  • It is the most commonly used type of carbon steel.

2. Medium Carbon Steel

  • Contains about 0.25% to 0.60% carbon.
  • Offers a good balance between strength and flexibility.
  • Used for building bridges, axles, gears, and machinery parts.

3. High Carbon Steel

  • Contains more than 0.60% carbon.
  • Very hard and strong, but less flexible.
  • Used in tools, cutting equipment, blades, and springs.

At Solitaire Fittings, we supply all three types of carbon steel to suit different needs.

Our Range of CS Products

We offer a complete range of CS Products made with the highest quality standards. Our carbon steel products are tested for strength, safety, and durability.

1. Carbon Steel Fittings

Carbon Steel Fittings are used to connect pipes and tubes in industrial piping systems. These fittings come in many shapes and sizes, including:

  • Elbows
  • Tees
  • Reducers
  • Caps
  • Couplings

These fittings are used in industries such as oil & gas, power generation, chemical plants, and shipbuilding. They are perfect for high-pressure and high-temperature environments.

2. Carbon Steel Flanges

Carbon Steel Flanges are used to join pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment. They help form a strong seal between parts and allow for easy maintenance and inspection.

We offer different types of flanges such as:

  • Weld Neck Flanges
  • Slip-On Flanges
  • Blind Flanges
  • Socket Weld Flanges
  • Threaded Flanges

Our flanges are available in both Low Carbon Steel and High Carbon Steel depending on the application.

3. Carbon Steel Fasteners

Carbon Steel Fasteners are bolts, nuts, screws, and washers made of carbon steel. They are used in construction, automotive, and industrial applications to hold parts together tightly.

We supply:

  • Hex Bolts
  • Nuts
  • Washers
  • Stud Bolts
  • Threaded Rods

Our fasteners are strong, durable, and corrosion-resistant when coated or treated properly.

Applications of CS Products

Our CS Products are used in a variety of industries:

  • Oil & Gas Industry: Pipelines, rigs, and refineries.
  • Construction: Buildings, roads, and bridges.
  • Automotive Industry: Car frames and engine parts.
  • Power Plants: Boilers, heat exchangers, and pressure vessels.
  • Shipbuilding: Hulls, decks, and piping systems.
  • Chemical Plants: Pipes, tanks, and processing units.

Thanks to the wide range of carbon steel properties, these products can be used in both simple and extreme environments.

Carbon Steel vs. Stainless Steel

Many customers ask us about the difference between carbon steel and stainless steel. Here’s a quick comparison:

Feature Carbon Steel Stainless Steel
Composition Iron + Carbon Iron + Chromium + Nickel
Strength Very Strong Strong
Corrosion Resistance Needs coating Naturally resistant
Cost Lower Higher
Use Heavy-duty structures Decorative or clean applications

If you need strength and cost-effectiveness, carbon steel is the right choice. If corrosion is a big issue, stainless steel might be better.
