Mild steel plates, also known as plain-carbon steel and low-carbon steel, are extremely strong due to the low amounts of carbon present inside them. The carbon amount typically found in mild steel range from 0.05%-0.25% by weight. Here, less carbon means that mild steel is more ductile, malleable, weldable, and machinable than carbon and other steels. Because of its high strength and malleability, MS plates are a popular steel choice for the construction of pipelines and everyday products. Moreover, the ease of shaping and welding MS plates makes them a desirable material for producing products in the consumer industry.

AISI 1020 Steel is low hardenability and low tensile carbon steel carbon steel. And its Brinell hardness of 119 – 235 and tensile strength of 410-790 MPa. It is normally used in turned and polished or cold drawn condition. AISI 1020 steel ( JIS S20C steel) is resistant to induction hardening or flame hardening due to its low carbon content.
