The workhorse of welding: strong, affordable and forgiving, and the right choice for most gates, frames, railings and repairs.
Mild steel, also called low-carbon steel, is the most common metal in welding. It is strong, easy to cut and weld and widely available in tube, bar, plate, angle and sheet. Gates, trailers, railings, brackets and equipment frames are usually mild steel.
Its weakness is rust. Bare steel corrodes when it meets moisture, so coatings matter. A thorough primer and paint, galvanizing or a powder coat protects the steel and extends its life. Welds should be ground clean and coated to the same standard as the rest of the part.
Forgiving with most processes.
Tube, bar, plate and angle.
Good for frames and structures.
Rusts without protection.
Process chosen by thickness and place.
Parts are easy to source.
