What is Carbon Steel?
Carbon Steel is an iron-carbon alloy with up to 2.1% carbon content and trace amounts of elements like manganese, silicon, and sulfur. It is one of the most widely used engineering materials due to its excellent strength, workability, and cost-effectiveness.
Carbon steel is broadly categorized into:
- Low Carbon Steel (Mild Steel) – ≤ 0.3% carbon, used for general fabrication, structural applications
- Medium Carbon Steel – 0.3–0.6% carbon, used in automotive parts and forging
- High Carbon Steel – > 0.6% carbon, used for tools, springs, and wear-resistant components
