The thermal conductivity of mild steel typically ranges from about 45 to 60 W/(m·K) in SI units. This property indicates how well the material can conduct heat, with higher values signifying better conductivity. Various factors, such as alloy composition and temperature, can affect the exact value within this range.
The thermal linear expansion coefficient for mild steel is approximately 6.5 to 7.5 x 10^-6 inches per inch per degree Fahrenheit (in/in/°F). This means that for every degree Fahrenheit increase in temperature, a one-inch length of mild steel will expand by about 6.5 to 7.5 millionths of an inch. This property is important in engineering and construction to account for temperature-induced changes in dimensions.
The alloy used for welding should be similar in strength to the bulk material being welded. Otherwise there will be stress concentration at the junction between the two alloys. This problem is somewhat reduced when the metals mix during welding, if the weld point moves slowly enough.
Mild steel, not copper.
Any metal with a good conductivity can be used; normally thin copper or mild steel that is tin plated is used the later is less expensive.
steel is the alloy of iron and carbon , so mild steel is an ferrous alloy
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.
aluminum has a lower melting point, higher thermal conductivity, and doesn't change color before it goes molten
heated up to kindling temperature of the mild steel
Mild steel is harder than copper as it has a higher hardness level on the Mohs scale. Mild steel is commonly used in construction and manufacturing due to its durability and strength, while copper is known for its excellent electrical conductivity and malleability.
if by dry earth you mean dirt and soil then the answer is that mild steel is 100% more conductive then dry earth considering dirt doesnt conduct eletricity
mild steel is heavier
A figure of merit for copper is 231A figure of merit for stainless steel is 8.1A figure of merit for steel (mild) is 32A figure of merit for aluminum is 136.The units are BTU / H * ft * Degrees F.For a given length of time copper will conduct almost twice as much heat as aluminum and 28 times as much as stainless steel (but only about 7 times as much as regular steel). This is why there are copper bottomed stainless steel pots.From the definition of thermal conductivity: for 1 Ft cube of copper it would take 231 BTU per hour to maintain a 1 degree (Fahrenheit) temperature difference across the the length of the cube. This compares to 0.04 BTU for a 1 ft. cube of fiberglass insulation.

Mild steel
No, mild steel is low carbon steel with no other alloys.
