Carbon steel is a type of steel that primarily consists of iron and carbon, with minimal alloying elements. It is one of the most widely used types of steel due to its strength, affordability, and versatility. Carbon steel is categorized into three types based on carbon content: low, medium, and high carbon steel. Each type serves specific industrial applications, ranging from structural parts to cutting tools. It offers good machinability and heat treatment response, but its corrosion resistance is limited without protective coatings. Common uses include pipes, construction materials, automotive components, and tools. Its mechanical properties make it suitable for engineering and fabrication industries. Benefits
