It is a widely used carbon construction steel, characterized by low hardness and high toughness values that make it extremely ductile, suitable for cold deformation processes like bending. Its excellent weldability, stemming from low carbon content, allows the production of both seamless and welded tubes. The ability to produce welded tubes offers advantages such as better geometry and improved surface appearance, although welding may pose challenges for certain specific applications. The versatility of this steel is evident in its ability to be supplied in various conditions: annealed, normalized, as-rolled, and cold drawn.
