Frequently Asked Questions
Mild steel is one of the most versatile and widely used metals in manufacturing and construction.
It is commonly used for structural steelwork, engineering and fabrication projects, automotive components, machinery parts, and architectural metalwork.
Thanks to its strength, ductility, and ease of fabrication, mild steel is ideal for laser cutting processes.
At Laser Profiles, we cut mild steel for a wide range of applications across industries including construction, automotive, rail, defence, marine, and general engineering.
Mild steel is a low-carbon steel that contains approximately 0.05–0.25% carbon, making it more malleable, weldable, and easier to machine than high-carbon steels.
It is one of the most commonly used materials in fabrication and engineering due to its affordability, versatility, and excellent mechanical properties. Mild steel is ideal for laser cutting because it produces clean, accurate cuts with minimal heat distortion.
At Laser Profiles, we work with a wide range of mild steel grades, including S275, S355, S355JR, S355J2 and S355MC.
Yes, mild steel is prone to rust when exposed to moisture and oxygen, as it does not contain significant amounts of corrosion-resistant elements like chromium. To prevent rust, mild steel components are often coated, painted, galvanised or otherwise treated after fabrication.
While rust does not affect the laser cutting process itself, proper storage and post-processing are essential to maintain the quality of mild steel parts.
At Laser Profiles, we advise suitable finishing options to protect your components after cutting.
