C-45 Base Plates (Medium Carbon Steel)

C-45 is an unalloyed medium carbon steel (general carbon engineering steel) offering a strong balance of strength, toughness, and machinability. Commonly supplied as round bars, flats, and plates, it is preferred where higher strength and wear resistance are required compared to mild steel.

Good machinability Excellent tensile properties Higher wear resistance Reliable toughness
Grade C (%) Si (%) Mn (%) S (%) P (%) Cr (%) Ni (%)
C-45 0.42–0.50 0.40 0.50–0.80 <0.03 <0.03 0.30–0.50 0.30–0.50

Typical applications: engineering machinery components, axles & shafts, forged automotive parts, gears, bolts, tooling plates, and fixtures requiring higher wear resistance.

Mild Steel Base Plates (Low Carbon Steel)

Mild Steel (MS) is a versatile low carbon steel (≈0.05–0.25% C). It retains excellent ductility and weldability while providing better strength than pure iron. Easy to cut, bend, drill, and weld — MS base plates are widely used across construction, fabrication, storage tanks, and general engineering.

Highly weldable Easy to form & machine Economical & widely available Good general strength
Grade C (%) Si (%) Mn (%) S (%) P (%) Cr (%) Ni (%)
MS 0.05–0.25 <0.04 0.70–0.90 <0.03 <0.03

Typical applications: building & structural frameworks, machinery fabrication, automotive body parts, storage tanks, platforms, base frames, and general engineering components.
