While steel production has relied on coal as an energy source since the Industrial Revolution, the steel industry, like other sectors, is transitioning to a future that significantly reduces emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Low-carbon steel (C: ≤ 0.25%), also known as mild steel, readily undergoes various processes such as forging, welding, and cutting, and is commonly used in the manufacture of chains, rivets, bolts, shafts, and more.
