Steel and heat treatment MILD STEEL Mild steel is also called plain carbon steel. It is the most common type of steel and it price is pretty low. Its composition is around about 0.05%-0.29% carbon content. Mild steel has a relatively low tensile strength but the surface can be hardened through carburizing. It is mostly used where large amounts of steel needs to be formed eg structural steel MEDIUM CARBON STEEL Medium carbon steel has great wear resistance and is used for forged automotive
