Why are bullets made of mild steel?
Usually they aren't. Lead, or lead in a copper shell (a "jacket") is the most common choice for bullets. Bullets CAN be made of mild steel, usually also copper jacketed, and it's usually done because of concerns about the lead from the bullets causing pollution. Mild steel is one of the less expensive replacement options for lead in bullets.
Is mild steel cheap or expensive?
Mild steel is ferrous with about .16 to .19 percent carbon.
What is the yield stress of a twisted bar as compared to an ordinary mild steel bar?
Tensile yield strength in a steel bar is the amount of pressure exerted before the bar begins to bend. Tensile steel is used for a variety of construction projects.
Which is the heaviest mild steel or copper?
metal with out the properties that combine and then materialize into a base form of solid mass, or as known as carbon emulsified over and over repeatedly becomes a hairline, unlike brass metal.
Alloy of mild steel?
Einstein says : 2.258 percent carbon and 97.842 steel
Which is harder mild steel or copper?
mild steel
What the difference between mild steel and HYSD bars?
Mild steel is of a general steel grade. HYSD stands for high yield strength deformed steel, which is of a 40 percent stronger steel grade.
Is there 3 percent steel in a one pence coin?
No. It is all steel with copper plating.
What is the hardest material out of brass and mild steel?
There could be some different ways to answer,but I would have to say it would be copper.Brass is made from combining copper and zinc,while copper can also be an alloying agent for mild steel.However mild steel can have many different alloying agents in it.Carbon is the most prevalent in steel but there would be none in brass since it is a non-ferrous metal.

Is mild steel ferrous or non- ferrous?
Mild steel is ferrous with about .16 to .19 percent carbon.

Does steel have a low thermal conductivity?
It depends on what you compare it to. Steel has a thermal conductivity about 100 times greater than insulation, but is less conductive than materials such as ceramic or copper.
Which is heavier stainless steel or mild steel?
mild steel is heavier
When joining mild steel pipe with stainless steel pipes any dilectric isolation is required?
No, they are both iron based, you only need it between iron and copper.
Which is more hard lead or mild steel?
Mild steel
Is mild steel inlcudes stainless steel?
No, mild steel is low carbon steel with no other alloys.
