Red-short carbon steel

ID: red-short-carbon-steel

Red-short carbon steel refers to a specific condition of carbon steel that experiences brittleness and cracking when heated, particularly around a temperature range of approximately 400°F to 1,000°F (204°C to 538°C). This phenomenon occurs due to the presence of impurities, especially sulfur, which can result in the formation of iron sulfide.
