[MW:3884] Carbon Equivalent

Dear All,

For carbon Steel specifications, it is specified as the maximum carbon content shall be 0.25% and  the maximum carbon equivalent (CE) shall be 0.43%,where CE=C%+Mn%/6+(Cr% + Mo% +V%) / 5 + (Ni% + Cu%) / 15.

Why carbon equivalent is required to specify while procurement of Carbon steel components.



Thanks & Regards,
