If it is not coated, it is exposed to the air (or whatever) and will rust.

Is A36 steel mild steel?
Yes. It is considered "Mild" Steel due to the low amount of carbon in the steel.
Can you bend mild steel?
Yes, it is easily 'workable'. hence the name mild steel..
Difference in microstructure of mild steel when etched and unetched?
Etched mild steel --> you will be able to to see its microstructure under optical microscope Unetched mild steel --> you will not be able to see its microstructure under optical microscope. The microstructure between etched mild steel and unetched mild steel does not change. Etching only to make the microstructure visible.
Difference between Black mild steel and bright mild steel?
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
Is carbon steel the same as mild steel?
both of these are same In some places they are used interchangeabl low carbon steel has 0.05-0.15% carbon mild carbon steel has0.16-0.29% carbon http://www.metalsupplies.com/
How do you calculate mild steel thickness from stain steel thickness?
By thick control.
Is a paper clip made from steel?
Yes. It can sometimes be made of plastic or have a vinyl coating. To be precise it is a mild steel.
What materials are used to make galvanized cells?
Mild steel sheet with zinc coating
Is zinc plated galvanized steel magnetic?
Yes, the mild steel under the plating is magnetic. The coating only prevents corrosion.
What temperature does mild steel need to be heated for thermal cutting to occur?
heated up to kindling temperature of the mild steel
Which is heavier stainless steel or mild steel?
mild steel is heavier
Which is harder mild steel or copper?
mild steel
What is the use of coating steel with tin?
It stops the steel from rusting by not letting oxygen or water touch the steel, as oxygen and water need to present for steel to rust.
What is welding electrode?
6013 is a mild steel electrode that bridges the span between mild steel and medium steel. It has a lot of the characteristics of the 60s type electrode but with a thicker coating that doesn't spatter as much and can be used with either AC or DC Polarity. 60 equals 60,000 lbs tensile strength, 1 equals all position, 13 states basic coating type and denotes AC plus DC useage. The deposited bead has a thicker slag coating than 6010, 6011, 6012.

Is galvalume a type of coating for sheet steel?
Galvalume is a coating generally comprised of 55% zinc and 45% aluminum. It is used as a coating over steel. It is a common coating on steel metal roofing panels.
Which is more hard lead or mild steel?
Mild steel
