SS400 Physical Properties

SS400 Physical Properties

Physical properties of both SS400 and mild steel play a significant role in determining their suitability for different applications.

The SS400 has a density of 7.85g/cm3, which influences its weight and strength. Its hardness is measured in the Brinell scale, showing relatively low hardness but reasonable toughness, providing good resistance to cracking.

The thermal conductivity of SS400 is approximately 25.93 W/mK, allowing heat to distribute evenly across the material, making it suitable for applications requiring temperature stability. The electrical conductivity, while not its primary feature, is sufficient for most construction applications. Its magnetic properties are comparable to that of mild steel, making it suitable for applications where magnetism is essential.

On the other hand, mild steel has a similar density to SS400, contributing to its strength and weight characteristics. It exhibits a higher hardness but lower toughness than the SS400, making it less resistant to cracking but more durable.

The thermal conductivity of mild steel is higher, around 37.2 W/mK, while its electrical conductivity and magnetic properties are quite similar to SS400. Therefore, the choice between these two materials depends on the specific requirements of the application.
