Mild steel sheet is an economical material but it does normally require a protective and decorative finish to add appeal and prevent corrosion.
Can be case hardened and welds readily.
Supplied in bright condition the unalloyed medium carbon steel is typically used in applications where a higher quality steel is required when compared to standard mild steel but where costs prohibit the use of an alloy steel.
Black mild steel has a dark blue oily surface and bright mild steel has a silvery grey surface.
