The best type of iron for construction depends on the application and the environment. For interior structural applications, mild steel is a popular choice due to its low cost and good strength-to-weight ratio.
Corrosion-resistant metals such as stainless steel may be necessary for exterior structures in harsh climates. High-strength alloys like high-carbon and low-alloy steels are often used in bridges, buildings, and other large structures. Aluminum and iron-nickel alloys are also used in some structural applications.
