The low carbon concentrations (0.05-0.15%) in mild steel do not have a major effect on the melting point of iron, which is 1538 centigrade. Looking at the Iron-Carbon phase diagram show that the reduction from this melting temperature will be only a few degrees. At higher concentrations of carbon (2-4%), as in cast iron, the melting temperature is substantially reduced. The alloy starts melting at 1154 centigrade, and is completely molten by 1200-1400 centigrade depending on carbon content.
What else can I help you with?
What temperature does mild steel need to be heated for thermal cutting to occur?
heated up to kindling temperature of the mild steel
What is the pouring temperature of mild steel?
1550
What temperature does mild steel turn red?
pls refer to carbon-phase diagram... mild steel will be liquid and welded with temp. of >1300degC
Does steel melts?
Of course steel melts. That is how is shaped into steel objects.
Where does the steel go after it melts?
where does the steel go befor it melts
What is the temperature of welding arc to weld metal?
Depends on the metal, but for steel it is hot enough to melt the steel- and steel melts at 2600-2800 degrees F.
Is a steel a solid liquid or gas?
steel is all three. when it is heated it melts into a liquid. if it is heated even more it evaporates into a gas. if gas steel is cooled it condenses into liquid steel and if liquid steel is colled even more it hardens into a solid again
Which is heavier stainless steel or mild steel?
mild steel is heavier
Is it good to say mile steel melts at 1500 degree celsius?
Each steel has another melting point; this temperature is approx. 1 200 0C.
What must be the ladle temperature in con cast billet preparation for mild steel?
1600 C
Which is more hard lead or mild steel?
Mild steel
What is the copper percent in mild steel?
Mild steel, not copper.
