You can have mild steel "case hardened". It's a process of adding carbon to the surface of the steel, typically very shallow, .010 or so, but can be deeper by request from your heat treater. After it's carburized, then the case can be hardened. I used it alot for making homemade tools for the shop using mild steel, instead of expensive tool steel. One of the advantages of case hardening is that the mild steel is very stable. Great for angle plates, etc. where you don't want the steel to move after grinding everything square. This of course probably wouldn't work well for sheet metal.
