Steel Pipes and Tubes » Steel Pipes by Material

Steels are a large family of metals. All of them are alloys in which iron is mixed with carbon and other elements. Steels are described as mild, medium or high-carbon steels according to the percentage of carbon they contain, although this is never greater than about 1.5%. Pipes made from various kinds of steel have different chemical compositions, their physical properties are different and thus are useful for different purposes.
