Both impact strength and tensile strength are properties that are associated with structural applications. The fact that this alloy is easily available is also the reason for its inching to popularity. Unlike conventional austenitic steels that do not exhibit magnetism, mild steel is known to be magnetic. The ferrite present in the crystalline micro structure of the MS Wire Mesh makes it magnetic. This in turn makes the mesh suited to those applications that may require some magnetic force to work. Although the properties of this steel rate as fairly good, the use of heat treatment is not an option for the Mild Steel Expanded Metal Mesh . While most steels thrive with the use of heat treatments, cold forming this alloy will yield better results.

The other benefits of using this alloy are good ductility and malleability, which is what makes it possible for manufacturers to produce a Mild Steel Woven Wire Mesh. Lastly, because the alloy is readily weldable, they are suited to those applications that require welding in fields like building and construction. The Mild Steel Welded Wire Mesh may also be used as parts of a piping system or in the automobile industry.
