IS 2062 Grade B Plate

IS 2062 material is a type of carbon steel with a low amount of carbon – it is actually also known as “low carbon steel.” depending upon the source it range differ. And the amount of carbon typically found in it is 0.05% - 0.25% by weight, whereas high carbon steels are typically described as having a carbon content from 0.30% to 2.0%. If any more carbon than that is added, it would be classified as cast iron.

It is not an alloy steel and therefore does not contain large amounts of other elements besides iron; you will not find vast amounts of chromium, molybdenum, or other alloying elements in mild steel.

It is typically more ductile, machinable, and weldable than high carbon and other steels, however, it also means that it is nearly impossible to get harden and strengthen by heating and quenching. Its low carbon content also means it has very little carbon and other alloying elements to block dislocations in its crystal structure, generally resulting in less tensile strength than high carbon and alloy steels. It also has a high amount iron and ferrite which making it magnetic.
The lack of alloying elements such as those which is found in stainless steels means that the iron in mild steel is subject to oxidation if not properly coated. But the negligible amount of alloying elements also helps IS 2062 Grade B to be relatively affordable when compared with other steels. It is a popular choice for steel consumers due to its affordability, weldability, and machinability.
