Mild steel’s carbon and alloying elements are relatively low, which differentiates it from higher carbon and alloy steels.
Mild steel is typically more ductile, machinable, and weldable than high carbon and other alloyed steels. Mild steel also has a high amount iron and ferrite, making it magnetic. It is advisable to coat the final product, as it is susceptible to rust under certain conditions.
Affordability, weldability, and machinability make it a popular choice of steel for consumers.
