Mild steel plates, also known as low carbon steel plates, are structural quality plates that are used for a variety of general construction and industrial applications. Mild steel plates are ductile, easy to machine and have high weldability. Mild steel plates can be fabricated into parts that do not require high strength, such as clamps, mounting plates and spacers.

Two of the most common grades of mild steel plates are S275 and ASTM A36. S275 is a popular mild steel grade suitable for various general engineering and structural applications. As a low carbon steel specifications, S275 provides low strength with good machinability and high weldability. Mild steel grade S275 is used widely in the construction, maintenance and manufacturing industries.

Mild steel grade ASTM A36 is another popular and widely used carbon structural steels, which is mild and hot rolled. ASTM A36 has good welding properties and is suitable for different kinds of machining processes. With a wide range of applications, ASTM A36 is usually the base material for all construction and structural buildings. Depending on the thickness and corrosion resistance of the alloy, ASTM A36 mild steel is versatile and can be used for many purposes.
