Mild Steel Materials
Designers and engineers frequently choose mild steel for CNC machining and CNC milling parts. Makes sense. This all-purpose metal has been proven to offer:
- * Excellent machinability
- * High strength
- * Hardness
- * Heat tolerance
- * Corrosion resistance
- * Electrical conductivity
- * Low weight
- * Low cost
- * Overall versatility

Mild Steels for Machining
LML offers several mild steel grades in its long list of available manufacturing materials. Two of those grades are especially well-suited material options for structural components and heavy-duty parts, whether cutting or welding: Mild Steel A36 and 1018.Mild Steel A36 (Structural Grade): Benefits include high weldability, strong load-bearing capacity, and cost efficiency for building frames, machinery bases, and industrial brackets. See data sheet for more information.Mild Steel 1018 (Low-Carbon): This cold-drawn alloy delivers superior machinability, smooth surface finish, and consistent strength for shafts, gears, and precision pins. See data sheet for more information.GET INSTANT QUOTE
