Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength.

These sheets and bars are zinc galvanized for good corrosion resistance.

The galvannealed coating allows these steel sheets to be painted without prepping the surface. They're easier to weld and more scratch resistant than zinc-galvanized steel sheets. Use them for outdoor signs, cabinets, and doors.

The lead additive acts as a lubricant, which allows 12L14 carbon steel to withstand very fast machining. It's used to fabricate a wide variety of machine parts.

The nickel and molybdenum content gives AR400 carbon steel the ability to resist wear better than all other carbon steel. It's often used as wear strips, liners, and deflector plates.

Even in low temperatures, A516 carbon steel resists breaking upon impact. Also known as pressure-vessel-quality (PVQ) steel, it is mostly used for boilers, storage tanks, and pressure vessels.
