# Microalloyed steels

Microalloyed steels are low-carbon structural steels strengthened and refined by small additions of elements such as titanium, niobium or aluminium. Their measured carbon contents are up to 0.1 percent, with yield strengths from 235 to 355 N/mm², making them suitable for load-bearing fabricated components where strength, toughness and weldability are required.
