Yield strength of structural mild steel (IS 226):
A500 MPa
B100 MPa
C250 MPa
D1000 MPa
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 250 MPa
IS 226 mild steel: yield ~250 MPa, ultimate ~410 MPa. Modern usage: Fe 415 (HYSD bars, yield 415 MPa), Fe 500, Fe 550. Stainless steel: yield up to 500-1000 MPa. Aluminum alloys: 200-500 MPa. Titanium alloys: 800-1100 MPa.
