Solitaire Overseas is a reputed carbon steel products manufacturer, supplier and exporter of these products in India. We provide an overall supply of high-performance products, such as Carbon Steel Pipes, Carbon Steel Tubes, Carbon Steel Boiler Tubes, Carbon Steel Heat exchanger tubes to various industries around the world.
Carbon steel Iron-carbon alloy with up to 2.1% carbon content as a percentage of the overall mass. This great amount of carbon gives the material high tensile strength giving it great preference in heavy construction of buildings and bridges as well as smaller household appliances such as fridges and washing machines.
Our carbon steel products are produced and tested according to the international standards, all of them ASTM, ASME and EN standards. We have a range of products of different grades that are used in many heat exchangers, industrial boilers, as well as pressure vessels and are sure to perform effectively in the most extreme conditions.
There are four major types of carbon steel depending on the amount of carbon in them. The concentration of carbon that is specific will directly determine the mechanical properties of steel which includes hardness, strength and ductility.

Our products serve a wide spectrum of industries:
Carbon steel is generally more cost-effective and offers higher hardness and tensile strength in high-carbon variations, though it has less corrosion resistance than stainless steel.
Yes, carbon steel lacks the chromium content found in stainless steel, meaning it will oxidize (rust) if exposed to moisture without a protective coating or treatment.
Low carbon steel, specifically ASTM A36, is the industry standard for structural welding due to its excellent weldability and ductility.
