Carbon Steel

Characteristics:

Cost-Effective: Carbon steel is relatively inexpensive and is the preferred material for most traditional gear applications.

Good Machinability and Weldability: Carbon steel is easy to machine and can be readily cut, welded, and formed.

Carbon steel gears are often used in general machinery and equipment, suitable for environments where load is not particularly high and there are low corrosion requirements. This material is generally not suitable for use in wet or chemically corrosive environments.
