It depends in the type of Stainless material grade. Each grade has different percentage of elements such as carbon, nickel, chromium,etc. If you look in the ASME Code on materials. I believe Section I, it will tell you about metals and alloys. If you look in Section IX it will tell you about welding procedures etc etc. Another Code that may asssist you is the ASTM.

According to AISI(American Iron and Steel Institute)and SAE(Society of Automotive Engineers), Plain Carbon Steels classified on the bases of carbon content:

  • Low Carbon Steel, under 0.2%
  • Mild Steel (or Medium Carbon Steel), 0.2 - 0.5 %
  • High Carbon Steel, 0.5 - 2%

(percentages are weight percentages)

Is carbon steel the same as mild steel?

both of these are same In some places they are used interchangeabl low carbon steel has 0.05-0.15% carbon mild carbon steel has0.16-0.29% carbon http://www.metalsupplies.com/


Is A36 steel mild steel?

Yes. It is considered "Mild" Steel due to the low amount of carbon in the steel.


What is the difference between carbon steel and mild steel?

Carbon steel includes mild steel. Mild carbon steel(as it is referred to) contains .05 - .29% carbon. Medium carbon steel is from .30 - .59%. High carbon steel is from .60 - .99%. Ultra high carbon steel is from 1.00 - 2.00%. Steel is considered carbon steel up to 2.1%. Past that it is considered cast iron. The more carbon in the steel the harder and less ductile and maleable it is and also the more brittle it is. The less carbon in the steel more it will bend and shape without breaking. So in essence carbon adds strength but takes away from its elasticity.

What type of filler material is used for mild steel?

ER70S-6 is a very common filler metal when welding with Gas Metal Arc Welding or Gas Tungsten Arc Welding on a low carbon steel (mild steel). This can be purchased as a spool or in rod form.


Is mild steel better than stainless steel?

Per the attached related link, the density (hence weight) of stainless is slightly more than the mild carbon steel. Using about 8.03/7.84 ratio of density, for the same volume of material the stainless will weigh 2.4 % more.
