Why choose mild steel?

Strength and ductility – Provides moderate strength with high ductility, suitable for load-bearing structures.
Cost-efficiency – More affordable than stainless steel and high-strength alternatives.
Weldability and machinability – Can be fabricated into various shapes and components.
Versatility – Used in construction, automotive, pipelines, shipbuilding, and machinery manufacturing.

Manufacturing Process

Mild steel is produced using Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) or Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) methods. The steel is refined, impurities are removed, and the carbon content is adjusted to achieve the required mechanical properties. Mild steel products conform to Indian Standards (IS) for quality and performance:

IS 2062:2011 – Hot rolled medium and high tensile structural steel.
IS 1079:2017 – Cold rolled carbon steel sheets and strips.
IS 1239:2019 – Steel tubes for structural and fluid applications.
IS 1161:2014 – Steel tubes for structural purposes.
IS 513:2016 – Cold reduced carbon steel sheets and strips.

Post-production, mild steel is processed into different forms:

Hot rolled steel (HRS) – Used in structural applications such as beams and columns.
Cold rolled steel (CRS) – Suitable for applications requiring smooth finishes.
Galvanized mild steel – Coated with zinc for enhanced corrosion resistance.

MILD STEEL Applications

Mild steel is used in multiple industries due to its adaptability and strength:

Construction – Beams, columns, reinforcement bars, and framework
Automotive – Chassis, body panels, and engine components
Machinery and equipment – Industrial machines, tools, and heavy-duty fabrication
Pipelines and tubes – Oil, gas, and water transportation systems
Shipbuilding and railways – Hulls, tracks, and supporting structures
