| Type | Description & Uses |
|---|---|
| Mild Steel (MS) | Affordable and easy to work with. Used in construction, fabrication, and general engineering. |
| Stainless Steel (SS 304, 316, 410, etc.) | Rust-resistant and strong. Used in food processing, medical, and marine industries. |
| Carbon Steel | Higher strength than MS. Used in automotive and structural applications. |
| Alloy Steel | Mixed with elements like chromium or molybdenum for added strength or corrosion resistance. |
| Brass/Bronze | Used in decorative, electrical, and marine applications. | Aluminum | Lightweight and corrosion resistant. Used in transportation and aerospace industries. |
