Carbon Steel
Carbon steel, a cornerstone of modern industry, is celebrated for
its strength, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. Composed primarily of iron
and carbon, with trace amounts of other elements, carbon steel embodies a
balance of durability and malleability that makes it indispensable in numerous
applications across various sectors.
