Mild Steel (MS) components are structural and mechanical elements made from mild steel, a low-carbon steel known for its versatility, strength, and affordability. These components are widely used in industries such as construction, automotive, infrastructure, fabrication, and machinery due to their excellent machinability, weldability, and durability.
- High Strength & Durability – MS components provide excellent mechanical strength, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications.
- Good Weldability – Mild steel can be easily welded using various techniques, making it suitable for custom fabrication.
- Machinability – MS is easy to cut, drill, and machine, allowing for precise manufacturing.
- Corrosion Resistance (with Coating) – While MS is prone to rust, it can be coated with paint, galvanization, or powder coating to enhance corrosion resistance.
- Cost-Effective – Compared to other metals, mild steel offers a balance of affordability and strength.
- Ductility & Malleability – It can be bent, shaped, or formed without breaking, making it useful for various applications.
- Versatile Applications – Used in structural frameworks, machine parts, pipelines, automotive components, and industrial equipment.
- Magnetic Properties – MS is a ferromagnetic material, making it useful in applications requiring magnetic properties.
