Low carbon steel, also known as mild steel, contains less than 0.25% carbon. It is one of the most commonly used types of steel due to its excellent ductility, machinability, and weldability. It is relatively soft and easy to shape, bend, or roll, making it ideal for structural applications, automotive panels, pipes, and general fabrication. Low carbon steel is cost-effective and has a smooth surface finish but limited hardness and strength compared to higher carbon steels. It requires protective coatings to prevent rusting as it lacks corrosion resistance. Its versatility and affordability make it a staple material in various industries. Benefits
