Mild Steel is probably the most widely used metallic material in the world. It is relatively cheap, has good strength, and can be easily manipulated. The major drawback with using mild steel is in environments where it comes into contact with moisture. When steel oxidizes it rusts and will be compromised over time. In most applications around the home and on vehicles mild steel is perfectly fine.

The standard finish is fine in situations where the tube is not being used for decorative purposes.  Standard finish material can be bright polished to a mirror like finish but generally it will come descaled and looks acceptable in most circumstances where functionality is more important than looks.

Our regular gauge material is suitable for most applications.  1.5mm wall is robust, easy to weld and not as expensive as the thicker materials.
