Carbon steel, an alloy of iron and carbon, finds extensive applications across various industries due to its affordability, durability, and versatility. Here are some common applications:
Construction: Carbon steel is widely used in construction for structural components such as beams, columns, and girders due to its high strength and rigidity. It is also used in reinforcing bars (rebars) for concrete structures.

Galvanized steel is carbon steel that has been coated with a layer of zinc to protect it from corrosion. The process of galvanization involves immersing the steel in a bath of molten zinc, or by applying zinc-rich paint or powder coatings.

Steel pipes are classified based on various factors including their manufacturing method, material composition, and application. Here are some common classifications of steel pipes along with their applications:
