What is mild steel ST37 material composition

ST37 material is mild steel, also called low carbon steel. That is mainly classified by ST37 material composition, which is with carbon content of less than 0.17%. ST37 material is a general for steel grades St37-2, USt37-2, RSt37-2, St37-3.

The mild steel ST37 material composition:

St37-3 1.0116 1.0116 0.17 0.17 0.17 0.17 0.17 by agreement 0.040 0.040 -

If you want to confirm ST37 material composition, it is better to give specific steel grade, such as ST37-2, ST37-3. ST37 material is mainly for applications where high strength is not so important.
