Zinc
cheapest material is Mild steel having very good properties of shaft.
Cast iron, SS, Mild Steel
Mild steel, not copper.
steel is the alloy of iron and carbon , so mild steel is an ferrous alloy
Equivalent material of mild steel ;is:206
As per the 2062, the raw material is the steel that is used for the general structure purpose.
IS 2062 standard does not specify any Hardness Limit for the material. As such, even the equivalent SA36 does not specify anything on Hardness. But this being a P No.1 material in properties, the commonly accepted Hardness limit is 200HB or 93 HRB. Again there can be variation based on specific application/project requirements.
IS 2062 is mild steel grade and it is one of the largest used steel grades available . IS 2062 are hot rolled carbon steel uses for checkered plates , nuts & bolts , storage tanks , beams , channels , angles , hydraulic press rugged structures , washers , pipes & tubes , air receivers and all related uses.
Compressive Stress for mild steel (IS 2062 Gr.B - ASME SA 36 is 407.7 MPa This is what I think is the value. If there are different valuses please send me a amil. ramsrini16@yahoo.com Dr.S.RAmachandran, NIOT , Chennai.
The density of steel as per IS 2062 will vary. This is because steel's density typically changes with composition.
