Top 5 Differences Between Mild Steel and High Strength Steel
There are different types of steel available in the market and selection of proper steel type is the key to manage the required quality and cost of a specific project. One may need steel for construction projects or to develop automotive parts, but since the requirement is different, the required steel type will also vary. The difference in the choice of steel will determine the final outcome of the project. One basic distinction that should be made at the initial stage is between mild steel and high-strength steel. Mild Steel posses moderate elasticity and a bit economical, whereas high strength steel has higher elasticity and is more expensive.
Here are the top five differences between Mild Steel and High Strength Steel that you can consider:/b>
Properties
Mild Steel has high weldability and is preferred for the construction projects. On the other hand, high-strength steel has improved tensile strength and great anti-corrosion properties due to the presence of alloys like manganese, silicon, and phosphorus.
Applications
Mild steel has some unique properties suitable for making steel frame buildings, Machinery Parts, Cookware, Pipelines, Fencing and for other structural part in construction projects. High strength steel, due to its high tensile strength, is mainly used for reinforcement purposes, automobile parts, weapon production, Aerospace, Ship Building and others.
Strength
Both mild and high-strength steel posses adequate tensile strength required for their respective uses. The tensile strength of mild steel ranges from 600 to 600 N\mm2. High-strength steel has more improved tensile strength of around 2000 N/mm2.
Flexibility
Mild Steel is more malleable than high-strength steel. Both these steel have different types of carbon structures. Mild steel is very easy to shape because of its high flexibility. In contrast, high-strength steel has higher strength and is less flexible than mild steel.
Cost
Mild steel is less costly than high-strength steel. High strength steel belongs to expensive grade of steel for its higher tensile strength.
