low-carbon steel
Medium-carbon steel
High-carbon steel

The market for carbon steel is divided into three categories based on type: low-, medium-, and high-carbon steel.

The most common type of carbon steel is low carbon steel. The carbon content of these steels is typically less than 0.25 weight percent. Since heat treatment cannot harden them, cold work is typically used to accomplish this. Low carbon steels are frequently utilized in food cans, pipes, structural forms, automobile body parts, and bridge and construction components.
