Comparison of Aluminium and Mild Steel

Aluminum, mild steel, and high carbon steel are compared. Aluminum is lighter than both steels but more costly to produce. It is malleable and can be formed into complex shapes. Mild steel is inexpensive and easy to work with but has lower strength. High carbon steel has higher strength than mild steel but is heavier and less ductile.
