Per the attached related link, the density (hence weight) of stainless is slightly more than the mild carbon steel. Using about 8.03/7.84 ratio of density, for the same volume of material the stainless will weigh 2.4 % more.

stainless steel has high corrosion resistance properties than the mild steel. stainless steel also has hard varieties like martensitic stainless steel which can ignore the hardening capacity of the mild steel.

Depends on the type of stainless you are referring to. Martensitic stainless steels could be made harder then mild.

What is a stainless steel welding rod?

Easy. A rod or electrode used in welding stainless steel. Or to "clad" a surface with stainless steel. (Nothing more than laying down a layer or layers of stainless.) MIG wire also comes in stainless steel. Their are different types of stainless steel and rods/wire/electrodes to use on them.


Why does mild steel need coating?

If it is not coated, it is exposed to the air (or whatever) and will rust.


Difference between Black mild steel and bright mild steel?

from what i can gather, which isn't alot:Cold Rolled Steel Strip is produced, as the term suggests by the further rolling of strip produced by the hot strip mills.Prior to cold rolling, the mill scale has to be removed, normally by the Pickling Process which uses mechanical manipulation (around small diameter rolls) and acid to dissolve the surface scale. The surface is then washed to remove the acid and a light oil added to prevent rusting.Mild steel sheet is manufactured generally in two grades, cold rolled and hot rolled.Hot rolled mild steel sheet is the initial product produced by the steel mill as a downstream process prior to further processing such as cold rolling.Hot rolled mild steel sheet has a mill scale which is usually black in colour. Hence the common name Black Mild Steel Sheet. Black mild steel sheet is commonly used in fabrication shops, it is more economical than cold rolled mild steel sheet.Black mild steel sheet will usually require more preparation work prior to any finishing system being applied.Cold rolling is done to:Reduce the thicknessImprove the surface finishImprove the thickness tolerancesTo offer a range of "tempers"As a preparation for surface coating


What is the difference between carbon steel and mild steel?

Carbon steel includes mild steel. Mild carbon steel(as it is referred to) contains .05 - .29% carbon. Medium carbon steel is from .30 - .59%. High carbon steel is from .60 - .99%. Ultra high carbon steel is from 1.00 - 2.00%. Steel is considered carbon steel up to 2.1%. Past that it is considered cast iron. The more carbon in the steel the harder and less ductile and maleable it is and also the more brittle it is. The less carbon in the steel more it will bend and shape without breaking. So in essence carbon adds strength but takes away from its elasticity.

How is an integrated steel plant different from a mini steel plant?

welll you see, the statement that an intergrated steel plant is better than a mini one is actually a myth and has bee proved by Dr. Will Carlilse the 3rd of Yeovil University. An intergrated steel plant is actually soft and flimsy much like the welsh rugby team.
