Mild steel, also called plain-carbon steel, is the most common form of steel because its price is relatively low while it provides material properties that are acceptable for many applications, more so than iron. Low carbon steel contains approximately 0.05–0.15% carbon and mild steel contains 0.16–0.29% carbon; making it malleable and ductile. Mild steel has a relatively low tensile strength, but it is cheap and malleable; surface hardness can be increased through carburizing

Applications
Mild steel is used for almost all non-specialist steel products – cars, domestic goods, constructional steel. street `furniture` signs etc Fence posts, wire, plate , tin cans. key rings
