C15E steel is a low-carbon structural steel with reduced sulfur and phosphorus content compared to C15 steel. The reduced sulfur and phosphorus content improves the quality of the steel, increasing its strength, which is important for more demanding applications. C15E is widely used in the engineering, automotive and precision mechanical parts industries. The main advantage is better weldability and ductility.
