MS – Carbon Steel
Grade Introduction:
MS mild/low carbon steel has excellent weldability, produces a uniform and harder case, and is considered the best steel for carburized parts. MS mild/low carbon steel offers a good balance of toughness, strength, and ductility. MS hot rolled steel has significant mechanical properties, improved machining characteristics, and has a high Brinell hardness measure.
Specific manufacturing controls are used for surface preparation, chemical composition, rolling and heating processes. All these processes develop a supreme quality product that is suited to fabrication processes such as welding, forging, drilling, machining, cold drawing, and heat treating.
Applications of MS Mild / Low Carbon Steel
- It is used in bending, crimping, and swaging processes. Carburized parts that include worms, gears, pins, dowels, non-critical components of tool and die sets, tool holders, pinions, machine parts, ratchets, dowels, and chain pins use MS mild/low carbon steel.
- It is widely used for fixtures, mounting plates, and spacers.
- It is suitably used in applications that do not need high strength of alloy steels and high carbon.
- It provides high surface hardness and softcore to parts that include worms, dogs, pins, liners, machinery parts, special bolts, ratchets, chain pins, oil tool slips, tie rods, anchor pins, studs, etc.
- It is used to improve drilling, machining, threading, and punching processes.
- It is used to prevent cracking in severe bends

Heat Treatment
A significant amount of this grade of steel is used in the as- forged condition since its machinability in this condition has been found to be better than that in the normalized condition.
Little is to be gained, at this carbon level, by a quenching treatment.
Hardening
This process requires heating to be carried out between 780°C – 820°C. MS mild/low carbon steel is then quenched in water.
Forging Properties
This process requires heating at 1150°C – 1280°C and MS mild/low carbon steel are held until the temperature becomes constant. 900°C is the minimum temperature required for the forging process. The steel is cooled in the air after this process.
Stress Relieving
A temperature of 500°C – 700°C is required to relieve stress in MS mild/low carbon steel that is later cooled down in still air.
Machinability
The machinability of MS mild/low carbon steel is graded at 78% of B1112.
Welding
MS mild/low carbon steel can be instantly welded by all the conventional welding processes. Welding is not recommended for MS mild/low carbon steel when it is carbonitrided and carburized.
Low carbon welding electrodes are used in the welding procedure. Post-heating and pre-heating are not necessary; although pre-heating can be performed for sections over 50 mm. Post-weld stress-relieving also has benefits, like the pre-heating process.
Tempering
MS mild/low carbon steel is tempered at 150°C – 200°C to improve case toughness. This process has little or no effect on hardness. Grinding cracks are reduced when MS mild/low carbon steel is tempered.
Physical Properties
| Physical Properties | Metric | Imperial |
| Density | 7.87 g/cc | 0.284 lb/in3 |
Normalizing
MS mild/low carbon steel should be heated at 890°C – 940°C and then cooled in still air.
Annealing
The MS mild/low carbon steel is heated at 870°C – 910°C and allowed to cool in a furnace.
