Mild Steel
Mild steel combines strength, ductility, and weldability, making it a popular choice for construction and manufacturing. Its affordability and ease of machining enhance its versatility, allowing it to perform well in various applications.
What Is Mild Steel?
Mild steel is a low-carbon steel known for its excellent balance of strength, ductility, and affordability. It primarily consists of iron with small amounts of carbon, typically between 0.05% and 0.25%, which gives it a good balance of flexibility and hardness. This makes it easy to machine, weld, and form into various shapes.
Low-carbon is commonly used in industries like construction, automotive, and manufacturing, where strength and ease of fabrication are essential. Its surface can be treated to enhance corrosion resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from structural frameworks to machinery components.

Frequently asked questions
Mild steel contains iron and carbon, while stainless steel includes additional elements like chromium, which provide enhanced corrosion resistance. Low-carbon steel is typically less expensive but lacks the rust resistance of stainless steel.
Selecting the right low-carbon steel grade is based on specific application requirements such as strength, toughness, workability, weldability, and cost. If you don’t know what low-carbon steel to choose for your project, feel free to consult our professional team!
Low-carbon steel can be processed through various methods, including cutting, welding, bending, and machining. Its properties allow it to be easily shaped and formed into different structures.
Low-carbon steel is not considered bulletproof. Bulletproofing requires materials with specific properties like high hardness, strength, and energy-absorbing capabilities. Steel alloys used for ballistic protection, such as AR500 or AR550, are significantly tougher than mild steel to resist penetration from bullets effectively.
