Carbon steel is an iron–carbon alloy whose strength, hardness, and weldability vary with its carbon content. In this article, we break down the properties, differences, and applications of low-, medium-, and high-carbon steel—and reveal which type is the easiest to weld and which is the most challenging.
Each type of MIG wire offers its own unique advantages, from required speed and size to strength. Understanding the different types of MIG wires can be the key to creating a quality weld.
