What grade is mild steel plate?

Mild carbon steel is a low carbon steel with relatively low strength and hardness compared to other types of steel.


Carbon steel plates are available in a variety of grades, with each grade having different characteristics and applications. Some common grades of carbon steel plates include ASTM A36, ASTM A572, and ASTM A516. The specific grade chosen depends on factors such as the required strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance for a given application.


Here's a table that includes some common grades of low-carbon steel, medium carbon steel, and high carbon steel, along with their approximate carbon content percentages:

Steel GradeCarbon Content (%)
Low-Carbon Steel0.05 - 0.30
- ASTM A360.25 - 0.29
- ASTM A2830.18 - 0.24
- SAE 10200.18 - 0.23
Medium Carbon Steel0.30 - 0.60
- ASTM A5160.29 - 0.85
- AISI 10450.43 - 0.50
- SAE 10500.47 - 0.55
High Carbon Steel0.60 - 1.00+
- AISI 10950.90 - 1.03
- SAE 10700.67 - 0.73
- EN C750.70 - 0.80

Note that the carbon content percentages are approximate and may vary depending on the specific grade and standard.
