Mild Steel Plates (MS Plates) – Versatile & Reliable for Structural Fabrication MS Plates, or Mild Steel Plates, are flat-rolled steel products made from low-carbon steel that offer high ductility, weldability, and versatility. Known for their cost-effectiveness and ease of fabrication, MS plates are a staple material across infrastructure, construction, automotive, fabrication, and general engineering sectors. Thanks to their low carbon content (typically ≤0.25%), MS plates can be cut, bent, welded, and machined with minimal effort — making them a preferred choice for structural and load-bearing applications in moderate service environments. Key Features: Excellent weldability with all standard welding methods Good machinability and forming properties Affordable and easily available in various sizes and thicknesses Uniform surface and dimensional accuracy Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications with proper treatment Typical Chemical Composition (Approx.): Element Content (%) Carbon (C) ≤ 0.25 Manganese 0.30 – 0.60 Silicon ≤ 0.04 Sulfur ≤ 0.05 Phosphorus ≤ 0.05 Iron (Fe) Balance Mechanical Properties: Property Typical Value Yield Strength 240 – 250 MPa Tensile Strength 410 – 450 MPa Elongation ≥ 20% Hardness 120 – 150 HB Available Standards & Grades: IS 2062 E250 / E350 ASTM A36 EN 10025 S235 / S275 / S355 Custom grades and thicknesses based on project needs Common Applications: Structural fabrication in buildings and bridges Base frames, tanks, and platforms Equipment manufacturing and body structures Road and rail infrastructure Shipbuilding, ducting, and fencing Conclusion: Mild Steel Plates offer the perfect balance between strength, ductility, and workability, making them one of the most widely used materials in the steel industry. From construction to machinery, MS plates ensure consistent performance, ease of use, and value for money in virtually every sector.
