High-Temperature Aluminized Low-Carbon Steel Sheets

Yield Strength: See table
Hardness: Not Rated
Heat Treatable: No
Fabrication: Cold Worked
Specifications Met: ASTM A463

Coated with an aluminum-silicon alloy, these sheets resist corrosion while withstanding long-term exposure to high temperatures. Low-carbon steel, also known as mild steel, is easy to machine, form, and weld. Use these sheets in drying ovens, furnaces, and smokestacks. They have been manufactured to meet ASTM A463 standards for quality and performance.

Paintable Galvannealed Low-Carbon Steel Sheets

Yield Strength: 30,000 psi
Hardness: Not Rated
Heat Treatable: No
Specifications Met: ASTM A653

The galvannealed coating allows these low-carbon steel sheets to be painted without prepping the surface. They're easier to weld and more scratch resistant than zinc-galvanized steel sheets. Low-carbon steel, also known as mild steel, is easy to machine and form. Use these sheets for outdoor signs, cabinets, and doors.

Low-Carbon Steel Round Tubes

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, such as frames, supports, and conduit. This steel is manufactured to ASTM, SAE, or EN standards for quality and performance.

Heat treatable tubes can be surface hardened.
