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 is the effect temperature on the impact of mild steel?

The impact behavior of mild steel is significantly influenced by temperature. At lower temperatures, mild steel becomes more brittle, increasing the likelihood of fracture upon impact. Conversely, at higher temperatures, the steel exhibits improved ductility and toughness, allowing it to absorb more energy before failure. This temperature dependence is crucial in applications where materials are exposed to varying environmental conditions.


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
