- I'm considering doing my physics coursework on the uses of Mild Steel in skyscrapers and construction, would this be right? Some sources tell me mild steel is too weak, others say it is fine
Mild steel doesn't really mean anything, technically. In today's world all steel is mild steel unless it's high carbon or alloy, which are mostly tool steels. You'll need to study steel much deeper than that to accomplish any real physics work relating to steel.
