    When an off-the-shelf size won't do, we'll get you the exact dimensions you need.

    Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into low-strength fasteners, pins, and axles. You can surface harden this material for added wear resistance.
