Engineering grade
Mild Steel (MS)
Low-carbon mild steel for plates and general fabrication work.
General grade information
Mild steel is a low-carbon steel valued for its weldability, formability and ease of fabrication. It is the standard choice for plates, structural work and general engineering fabrication where high hardenability is not required.
Typical applications
- Structural and fabrication work
- Base plates, brackets and frames
- General engineering and construction components
