Mild steel castings

Mild steel, commonly referred to as low-carbon steel, is characterized by a carbon content ranging between 0.1% and 0.3%. Due to its low carbon content, mild steel exhibits lower levels of strength and hardness, leading to its common name.

The superior properties of mild steel castings make them ideal for machining, forging, and welding processes, leading to their extensive use across various industrial and engineering sectors.

ADVANTAGES

  • High resistance to impact
  • Highly versatile and suitable for intricate and complex shapes
  • It can be easily cut, shaped, and machined, making it ideal for manufacturing processes that involve post-casting modifications.
  • Good weldability allows for easy joining of components for fabrication processes and repairs.
  • High ductility and malleability allow it to be stretched and bent without losing strength.
  • Highly cost-effective
  • Offers good strength
  • Heat Treatment properties that improve their mechanical strength

APPLICATIONS

Mild steel castings find applications in various industries, including automotive, construction, machinery manufacturing, agriculture, and general engineering. They produce gears, brackets, housings, and structural elements.
