Due to the low carbon content (0.05% – 0.25%), the Properties Of Mild Steel are ductility and easy workability.
Properties Of Mild Steel
While mild steel boasts ductility and ease of fabrication, its low carbon content results in lower hardness and strength. Due to its excellent overall performance and low cost, mild steel is widely used in the construction industry (rebar, scaffolding, nuts, beams, bolts), automotive manufacturing (body panels, chassis parts, interior structures), daily life (water pipes, gas tanks), and manufacturing (various sheet metal parts).
