Low-Carbon Steel 90° Angles
- Yield Strength: 36,000 psi
- Hardness: Not Rated (Medium)
- Heat Treatable: See Table
- Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: Not Rated
- Specifications Met: See Table
Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength, such as fixture clamps, mounting plates, and spacers. Some of these angles can be surface hardened with heat treating.

Low-Carbon Steel H-Bars
- Yield Strength: 50,000 psi
- Hardness: Not Rated
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Maximum Hardness After Heat Treatment: Not Rated
- Specifications Met: ASTM A992
Made of stiff low-carbon steel to deflect less under load, these H-bars are commonly used in machine bases, construction, platforms, and frames. Because of its rigidity, low-carbon steel is the most commonly used material for H-bars. These H-bars are less likely to crack from welding than those made of higher-carbon steels, and easier to weld than I-beams because they have a straight flange instead of a radius flange. H-bars are stronger than I-beams, but also heavier.

Low-Carbon Steel I-Beams
- Yield Strength: 50,000 psi
- Hardness: Not Rated
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Specifications Met: ASTM A992
Made of rigid low-carbon steel, these I-beams are often used in construction, framing, lifting, and hoisting applications. Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is the most commonly used material for I-beams. It deflects less under load than medium- or high-carbon steel and is less likely to crack from welding. These I-beams have rounded corners, and are also known as American Standard I-beams. They weigh less than low-carbon steel H-bars, but are not as strong.
