What is the steel grade of commercially available mild steel channels (say MC 125) and MS plates (say 4mm MS sheets)?
Depends on the source. Different countries have different standards for producing mild steel.Hiam2015 said:What is the steel grade of commercially available mild steel channels (say MC 125) and MS plates (say 4mm MS sheets)?
The main difference between MS channels and MS plates is their shape and size. MS channels are shaped like a "C" or "U" and are generally used for structural support, while MS plates are flat and can be cut into custom sizes for various applications.
The most commonly used steel grade for commercially available MS channels and MS plates is ASTM A36, which has a minimum yield strength of 36,000 psi.
Yes, there are other steel grades available for MS channels and MS plates, such as ASTM A572, which has a higher yield strength of 50,000 psi.
The thickness range for MS plates can vary depending on the manufacturer, but it typically ranges from 1/4 inch to 4 inches.
Yes, MS channels and MS plates can be used for outdoor applications as they are made from steel, which has high strength and durability. However, it is important to use a corrosion-resistant coating or paint to protect them from the elements.
