Mild steel, also known as low carbon steel or plain carbon steel, is a type of steel that contains a relatively low amount of carbon (typically less than 0.25%). It is the most commonly used form of steel due to its affordability, versatility, and ease of fabrication. Mild steel possesses good mechanical properties, such as strength and ductility, making it suitable for various applications. It is widely used in construction, manufacturing, automotive, and other industries for structures, machinery, automotive parts, and general fabrication purposes. The low carbon content of mild steel contributes to its malleability and weldability, allowing it to be easily shaped, formed, and welded
