Mild Steel

Mild steel is a type of low carbon steel. Carbon steels are metals that contain a small percentage of carbon (max 2.1%) which enhances the properties of pure iron. The carbon content varies depending on the requirements for the steel. Low carbon steels contain carbon in the range of 0.05 to 0.25 percent.

Some mild steel’s physical properties are as follows:

      1. High tensile strength

      2. High impact strength

      3. Good ductility and weldability

      4. A magnetic metal due to its ferrite content

      5. Good malleability with cold-forming possibilities

      6. Not suitable for heat treatment to improve properties

Stainless Steel

The advantageous properties of stainless steels can be seen when compared to standard plain carbon mild steel. Although stainless steels have a broad range of properties, in general, when compared with mild steel, stainless steels have:

  1. Higher corrosion resistance

  2. Higher cryogenic toughness

  3. Higher work hardening rate

  4. Higher hot strength

  5. Higher ductility

  6. Higher strength and hardness

  7. A more attractive appearance

  8. Lower maintenance

Cast Iron

Cast iron is an alloy of iron that contains 2 to 4 percent carbon, along with varying amounts of silicon and manganese and traces of impurities such as sulfur and phosphorus. It is made by reducing iron ore in a blast furnace. The liquid iron is cast, or poured and hardened, into crude ingots called pigs, and the pigs are subsequently remelted along with scrap and alloying elements in cupola furnaces and recast into molds for producing a variety of products.

The advantageous properties of cast iron can be seen when compared to standard plain carbon mild steel:

  • Better Hardness and durability than stainless steel

  • Tougher than stainless steel but more brittle than stainless steel

  • Higher thermal conductivity than stainless steel

  • Lower elastic ductility than stainless steel

  • Lower malleability than stainless steel

  • More fatigue resistance when exposed to static forces and less when exposed to dynamic forces as compared to stainless steel.
