Mild Steel Fastener
The reason is that Mild Steel Fastener [up to 0.3%carbon] is strong and tough.The thumb rule is that if more carbon included in the alloy, the steel becomes stronger and harder but the toughness is diminished, making it more brittle. The general run of the bolts needs to be cheap, strong enough for the job and exhibit a degree of flexibility, which mild steel does. Higher grades can have more tensile strength, and be stronger, but they lose elasticity and are more expensive like the stainless steel bolts.
The reason carbon steel is used is because of the following considerations:
Functional requirements – it meets all of the requirements for the intended use.
Material properties – it can be tailored to suit the application thru control of chemistry, heat treatment(s), forming, etc.
Manufacturing process – it has a cheap, easy manufacturing process
Fabricability – like above, it sis easy to form into the desired shape with the required mechanical properties.
Availability – it is the most commonly used material for construction used. widely available.
Thermal stability – with the proper heat treatment and chemistry, it is very stable within limits,, normally matching what it is bolting together in the first place.
Cost – it is cheap to make.
All of the above considerations can be applied to other materials as well. However, carbon steel is the most commonly used material and cheapest compared to other material. Stainless Steel and Nickel alloy bolting does exist for applications that carbon steel is not suitable for (i.e. corrosive or elevated temperatures).

Advantages
- Efficiently Malleable
One of the most beneficial properties of mild steel is it can be bent, cut and twisted to create the desired shape easier than other metal. It is one of the reasons why carbon steel (Mild Steel Fastener) is popular in many industries from the manufacture of household items to structural applications to the DIY and home improvement project. The high level of demand makes mild steel a widely produced material and therefore a very affordable material.
- Weight
Compared to high carbon steel mild carbon steel is lighter. The proportion of carbon is the main influencing factor for the weight. Working with mild steel is, therefore, easier and is used for manufacturing auto parts, pipelines and i.e. fences and ornaments for homes and businesses.
- Greatly Affordable
While working on a low budget, mild carbon steel proves to be the best. It is an ideal material that keeps project cost as low as possible. While mild steel is relatively cheaper than other metals you will have to consider the fact that you may have to treat it to prevent it from corrosion.
Disadvantages
- Comparatively Less Stronger
Mild steel is suitable for mechanical engineering and general purpose fabrication. Its strength makes it a terrific choice of material for the construction of cages, frames, fencing and in other applications where it will not be subjected to high stress. Therefore, it is preferred for making home and garden products that require low-stress.
- Limitation To Heat Treatment
Treating mild steel through heat mechanism can affect the carbon content. Usually, heat treatment is used to change the characteristics of steel. But once originally fabricated in the mill and cooled off there are no significant changes after heat treatment.
These are some of the benefits and drawbacks that affect the use of mild carbon steel. As every coin has two sides, so does mild steel. For you to make your project work perfect, you just need to ensure that fabrication is done by a reliable sheet metal fabricator. You can even give it a try ordering carbon steel from . Endless customization, accurate fabrication, compelling services, hassle-free delivery, and satisfaction are all the perks that you get by ordering it from us.
