Carbon Steel

Carbon steel is an alloy made primarily of iron and carbon, with a carbon content ranging from about 0.05% to 2.1% by weight. The properties of carbon steel, such as hardness, strength, and ductility, can vary significantly depending on the carbon content. Generally, higher carbon content makes the steel harder and stronger but less ductile and more challenging to weld. Carbon steel is widely used in construction, manufacturing, and various industrial applications due to its durability, strength, and affordability.
