Mild Steel Wire

Mild steel wire, also called low carbon steel wire, is widely used in many industries due to its balance of strength, flexibility, and low cost. It contains between 0.05% and 0.25% carbon, making it ideal for construction and engineering projects.

Made mostly of iron with a small amount of carbon, mild steel wire is easy to shape, bend, and form without breaking. This makes it useful in making wire mesh, fencing, and ropes. It also has good tensile strength, meaning it can handle a fair amount of stress before breaking. While not as strong as high carbon steel, its strength is enough for most applications. Mild steel wire is also easy to weld using techniques like arc and gas welding, maintaining its strength after welding.
