What are the properties of MS?
Physical Properties of Mild Steel
- High tensile strength.
- High impact strength.
- Good ductility and weldability.
- A magnetic metal due to its ferrite content.
- Good malleability with cold-forming possibilities.
- Not suitable for heat treatment to improve properties.
What is MS grade steel?
Low carbon steel or mild steel Low carbon steel has 0.04–0.3% carbon content and is the most common grade of carbon steel. Mild steel is also considered low carbon steel as it is defined as having a low carbon content of 0.05–0.25%.

Which is better SS or MS?
Steel is less malleable and harder than mild steel. Mild steel s less brittle than steel. Steel is more resistant to corrosion. Mild steel can be further strengthened through the addition of carbon.
