Carbon Equivalent Method: A Guide to Steel Weldability Understanding Carbon Equivalent (CE).
The carbon equivalent (CE) is an important statistic used to determine the weldability of steel. It provides a simpler assessment of how alloying components, specifically carbon and other hardening elements, influence the steel’s ability to harden during welding. Higher CE values imply a stronger proclivity for hardening, which can lead to problems such as cracking […]
