Assuming you mean milled steel, it is silver and can be used for anything as it is in it's rawest form.
1018 is the number "one thousand and eighteen."It is also the name for 1018 steel which is the most common low-carbon mild steel alloy in many uses, including structural steel.
carbon steel , alloy steel
nails, screws, nuts and bolts and car bodies
It is the most common form of steel. It is not brittle. It is cheap. It is often used when large amounts of steel are needed. Mild steel is a carbon steel typically with a maximum of 0.25% Carbon and 0.4%-0.7% manganese, 0.1%-0.5% Silicon and some + traces of other elements such as phosphorous, it may also contain lead (free cutting mild steel) or sulphur (again free cutting steel called re-sulphurised mild steel) Many everyday objects are made of mild steel, even some of your pots and pans are. Mild steel (a so-called carbon steel) is a general term for a range of low carbon (a maximum of about 0.3%) steels that have good strength and can be bent, worked or can be welded into an endless variety of shapes for uses from vehicles (like cars and ships) to building materials

from what i can gather, which isn't alot:Cold Rolled Steel Strip is produced, as the term suggests by the further rolling of strip produced by the hot strip mills.Prior to cold rolling, the mill scale has to be removed, normally by the Pickling Process which uses mechanical manipulation (around small diameter rolls) and acid to dissolve the surface scale. The surface is then washed to remove the acid and a light oil added to prevent rusting.Mild steel sheet is manufactured generally in two grades, cold rolled and hot rolled.Hot rolled mild steel sheet is the initial product produced by the steel mill as a downstream process prior to further processing such as cold rolling.Hot rolled mild steel sheet has a mill scale which is usually black in colour. Hence the common name Black Mild Steel Sheet. Black mild steel sheet is commonly used in fabrication shops, it is more economical than cold rolled mild steel sheet.Black mild steel sheet will usually require more preparation work prior to any finishing system being applied.Cold rolling is done to:Reduce the thicknessImprove the surface finishImprove the thickness tolerancesTo offer a range of "tempers"As a preparation for surface coating
generally, it was used to shear mild steel, stainless steel,metal plate. more info, you can see our web www.shearingmachine.org,we are a manufacturer fromChina
Structural engineering for one. Beams, columns, joists, angle iron, channels etc.
Taking accurate measurements in a workshop.
Mild steel, also known as low carbon steel, typically contains up to 0.25% carbon by weight, which gives it a good balance of ductility, toughness, and weldability. It is characterized by its malleability and ability to be easily shaped, making it suitable for various applications such as construction and manufacturing. The low carbon content also means that mild steel is less hard and more prone to corrosion compared to high carbon steels. Common uses include structural components, automotive parts, and general fabrication.
The addition of cobalt increases heat resistance.It is alloyed in M35 steel grade of HSS.
There are many uses of stainless steel. It is used for construction, surgery and medical equipment, and heating and energy. It is also used for things around the house like pots and pans, sinks, and razors.
