Mild Steel

Written by Superior Technologies | 2026.02.12

The most common form of steel used in construction and manufacturing. It is a low-carbon steel (containing 0.05% to 0.25% carbon).

Properties: It is strong but ductile (stretchy), meaning it can be bent, welded, and drilled easily without cracking.

Usage: From car bodies to structural beams and everyday water pipes, mild steel is the backbone of modern industry because it is cost-effective and versatile.
