Steel strips come in various types and can undergo different surface treatments, depending on their intended use. One common classification is based on carbon content:

• Low Carbon Steel Strips (0.05% to 0.30% carbon): Used in applications requiring ductility and ease of forming, such as automotive panels.

• Medium Carbon Steel Strips (0.30% to 0.60% carbon): Known for their balance of strength and ductility, suitable for coil and leaf springs.

• High Carbon Steel Strips (0.60% to 1.00% carbon): Offering excellent hardness and wear resistance, often used in cutting tools.

Surface treatments, such as galvanizing, can be applied to enhance properties like corrosion resistance. For instance, galvanized steel strips have a protective zinc coating that prevents rust and corrosion, making them ideal for outdoor applications.
