What is Mild Steel? Types of Mild Steel Products
Introduction
Mild steel (MS) is a low-carbon steel, known for its flexibility, ductility, and affordability. It is the most commonly used form of steel in India, and is preferred in a wide range of industrial and construction applications due to its strength, weldability, and cost-effectiveness.
Whether you’re building infrastructure, fabricating components, or manufacturing machines, mild steel forms the core of India’s metal consumption.
Let’s explore the different types of mild steel products — their characteristics, use cases, and where you can procure them directly from Loha Mandi via DhatuScrap.
1. TMT Bars (Thermo Mechanically Treated)
TMT bars are long, reinforced steel rods with high tensile strength and flexibility. They are essential for RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) construction due to their earthquake resistance.
Use Cases:
Building foundations, slabs, beams, and columns
Bridges, dams, flyovers
Industrial sheds and high-rise towers
Grades: Fe 415, Fe 500, Fe 550, Fe 600
