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.

In addition to good corrosion resistance, the nickel coating provides better wear resistance than the zinc-galvanized coating.

Coated with an aluminum-silicon alloy, these sheets resist corrosion while withstanding long-term exposure to high temperatures. Use in drying ovens, furnaces, and smokestacks.

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.
