Low carbon steels

The high ductility of these grades gives them excellent formability.

Low carbon steels produced to minimum strength requirements form the basis of non-alloyed structural steels.

These steels are covered in EN10025  and are widely used in applications where strength is required beyond that obtained from simple mild steels, without significant loss of formability or weldability.

Properties: Combination of good strength and ductility. Available in a variety of yield and tensile strengths to suit specific applications.

Typical applications: Automotive and agricultural wheels, pulley wheels, construction sections and supports.
