bullet3 low carbon steels

Low-carbon steels contain up to 0.25 weight percent Carbon. The largest category of this class of steel is flat-rolled products (sheet or strip) usually in the cold-rolled and annealed condition. The carbon content for these high-formability steels is very low, less than 0.10 weight percent C, with up to 0.4 weight percent Mn. For rolled steel structural plates and sections, the carbon content may be increased to approximately 0.25 weight percent, with higher manganese up to 1.5 weight percent.
