The advantages of carbon steel plates are:
1. After heat treatment, the hardness and wear resistance can be improved.
2. The hardness is appropriate during annealing and the machinability is good.
3. Its raw materials are very common and therefore easy to find, so the production cost is not high.
The disadvantages of carbon steel plates are:
1. Its thermal hardness is not good. When used as a tool material, if the temperature exceeds 200 degrees, the hardness and wear resistance will deteriorate.
2. Its hardenability is not good. The diameter during water quenching is usually maintained at 15 to 18 mm, while the diameter and thickness without quenching are usually 6 mm, so it is easy to cause deformation or cracking.
