Due to its affordable price, low-carbon steel, sometimes referred to as mild steel, is currently the most popular type of steel. It also offers material characteristics suitable for a variety of applications.
Low-carbon steel is malleable and ductile due to its 0.05–0.25% carbon content. Mild steel is inexpensive and simple to produce despite having a low tensile strength; carburizing can raise the surface hardness.
Car body parts, structural shapes (such I-beams, channel, and angle iron), and sheets used in buildings and pipelines are only a few examples of typical applications.
The Global Low-Carbon Steel market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
In an effort to achieve its goal of eradicating CO2 emissions by the year 2050, Tata Steel Nederland has introduced Zeremis Carbon Lite, a green steel product that delivers approximately a 30% decrease in CO2 intensity compared to the European average.
Since then, efforts to lower steel’s CO2 emissions have continued. According to reports, the company’s Ijmuiden steelworks provide steel production with a CO2 intensity that is 7% lower than the European norm and over 20% lower than the global average.
Tata Steel believes that there is a considerable demand for the low-carbon steel in consumer-facing industries including automobiles, packaging, and white goods. To continue satisfying this demand, the company plans to introduce more green steel products in the future.
In the US, structural steel commonly used is A36 steel. For instance, deep drawing is one of the shaping processes utilized on low-carbon steel sheets used in vehicle body applications. Ferrite and pearlite make up the microstructures. These alloys have exceptional ductility and toughness despite being somewhat soft and weak.
They may also be welded, machined, and are the least expensive to produce of all the steels. This metal has a density of 7861.093 kg/m3 (0.284 lb/in3) and a maximum tensile strength of 500 MPa (72500 psi).
