Soft Steel

Soft steel is a type of steel characterized by its relatively low carbon content, typically less than 0.3%. This lower carbon level makes it more malleable, ductile, and easier to shape or form than harder steels. It is often used in manufacturing, construction, and fabrication where flexibility and ease of welding are important. Soft steel generally has good strength and is less brittle, making it suitable for applications like sheets, strips, and structural components. Its softer nature also means it can be easily machined or cut without breaking or cracking.
