J H Stainless is India's leading Stockist & Suppliers of Mild Steel raw materials in multiple grades & series.

Mild steel, also known as low carbon steel, is a type of carbon steel that contains a low amount of carbon. It typically has a carbon content of 0.05% to 0.25% by weight. This lower carbon content makes it more ductile and easier to work with compared to higher carbon steels.

Characterstics Of Mild Steel:

1. Mechanical Properties:

  • Ductility: Mild steel is highly ductile, allowing it to be drawn into wires and other shapes without breaking.
  • Malleability: It can be easily hammered or rolled into thin sheets.
  • Tensile Strength: Moderate tensile strength, sufficient for many structural applications.
  • Toughness: Good toughness, making it resistant to impact and shock.

2. Physical Properties:

  • Density: Approximately 7.85 g/cm³, similar to other types of steel.
  • Melting Point: Ranges between 1425°C and 1540°C (2597°F to 2800°F), depending on the exact composition.
  • Magnetic Properties: Mild steel is magnetic due to its high iron content.

3. Chemical Properties:

  • Carbon Content: Contains 0.05% to 0.25% carbon by weight, which is lower than that of medium and high carbon steels.
  • Other Elements: May include small amounts of manganese (up to 0.6%), silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, and oxygen.

4. Weldability:

  • Ease of Welding: The low carbon content makes mild steel highly weldable, with less risk of cracking or other issues that can occur with higher carbon steels.

5. Machinability:

  • Ease of Machining: Can be easily cut, drilled, and machined, making it suitable for a wide range of manufacturing processes.

6. Corrosion Resistance:

  • Susceptibility to Rust: Mild steel is prone to corrosion when exposed to moisture and oxygen. Protective coatings or treatments such as painting, galvanizing, or applying anti-rust solutions are often required for outdoor applications.

7. Formability:

  • Ease of Forming: Can be easily formed into different shapes using standard metalworking techniques such as bending, rolling, and stamping.

8. Hardness:

  • Surface Hardness: Generally lower surface hardness compared to high carbon steels, which can be a disadvantage in applications where wear resistance is important.
