i need to know at least 5 inherent properties of mild steel please help!!

Mild steel is the most common form of steel. It is relatively low but yet offers properties that are acceptable for many applications.
Mild steel contains 0.16–0.29% carbon,
It is neither brittle nor ductile.
Mild steel has a relatively low tensile strength,
It is cheap and malleable.
Surface hardness can be increased by carburizing.
Carbon steel is sometimes referred to as 'mild steel' or 'plain carbon steel'. The American Iron and Steel Institute defines a carbon steel as having no more than 2 % carbon and no other appreciable alloying element. Carbon steel makes up the largest part of steel production and is used in a vast range of applications.
Typically carbon steels are stiff and strong. They also exhibit ferromagnetism (i.e. they are magnetic). This means they are extensively used in motors and electrical appliances. Welding carbon steels with a carbon content greater than 0.3 % requires that special precautions be taken. However, welding carbon steel presents far fewer problems than welding stainless steels. The corrosion resistance of carbon steels is poor (i.e. they rust) and so they should not be used in a corrosive environment unless some form of protective coating is used.
Advantages:
Cheap
Wide variety available with different properties
High stiffness
Magnetic
Most carbon steels are easy machine and weld
Disadvantages:
Poor corrosion resistance (i.e. rusts)
It is often used when large quantities of steel are needed, for example as structural steel. The density of mild steel is approximately 7.85 g/cm3 (0.284 lb/in3) and the Young's modulus is 210,000 MPa (30,000,000 psi).
Low carbon steels suffer from yield-point runout where the material has two yield points. The first yield point (or upper yield point) is higher than the second and the yield drops dramatically after the upper yield point. If a low carbon steel is only stressed to some point between the upper and lower yield point then the surface may develop Lüder bands."

Define "inherent".
Is it matter? If yes, it has mass.
Is it a metal? If yes, then it conducts electricity
Can you see it? If yes, then it emits radiation in the visible spectrum.
See if you can think of more...
