    Low carbon steel contains between 0.05-0.25% carbon and up to 0.4% manganese, making it inexpensive and easy to shape compared to higher carbon steels. Though softer, its surface hardness can be increased through carburizing. Its microstructure consists of pearlite, which is a banded structure of ferrite and cementite, and ferrite.

    STEEL

    LOW ALLOW STEEL

    PLAIN CARBON

    COMPOSITION (LOW CARBON): Composition of 0.05%-0.25% carbon and up to


    0.4% manganese. Also known as mild steel, it is a low-cost material that is easy to shape. While not as hard as
    higher-carbon steels, carburizing can increase its surface hardness.

    low carbon steel will have microstructure consisting of: Pearlite & Ferrite.
    The pearlite itself consists of bands (or lamellar structure) of ferrite and cementite.
