Mild steel is a material that is utilized in several industrial applications. It is a cost-effective steel with a carbon content of 0.16-0.29% and has a relatively high melting point of 1450-1520 o C.

The properties of steel can be improved in terms of fatigue, weldability, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance, ductility, and tensile strength by either alloy addition or heat treatment processes.

Rajeev Ranjan in his thesis investigates the influence of low-frequency vibration-assisted welding on the mechanical properties and microstructure of shielded metal arc welded mild steel plates.
