Carbon steel is a robust and durable material composed primarily of iron and carbon. Known for its strength, carbon steel is widely used in industries such as construction, oil and gas, and manufacturing. It offers excellent formability, weldability, and can be heat-treated to enhance its mechanical properties. Despite its susceptibility to corrosion, it remains a cost-effective choice for pipelines, structural components, and automotive parts due to its high pressure and temperature resistance. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and inspection, helps ensure its longevity and performance.
