Advantages

Increased Strength

Mild steel pipes are made from a low carbon steel and have a relatively low strength. However, they can be strengthened through cold working or heat treatment. This makes them ideal for use in applications where increased strength is required.


Good Ductility

Mild steel pipes also have good ductility, meaning that they can be bent or formed into shapes without breaking. This makes them ideal for use in applications where a certain shape is required, such as in piping or tubing applications.


Increased Corrosion Resistance

Mild steel pipes have an increased corrosion resistance when compared to other types of steel. This is due to the fact that they contain less carbon, which makes them less susceptible to corrosion.


Good Weldability

Mild steel pipes are also good weldability, meaning that they can be easily joined together using welding techniques. This is important in applications where two or more pieces need to be joined together, such as in piping or tubing applications.


Low Cost

Mild steel pipes are also relatively low cost when compared to other types of steel. This makes them ideal for use in a wide variety of applications where cost is a major consideration
