Understanding the Different Types of Steels We Offer

Steel, a versatile and widely used material, comes in a wide variety of types, each with its distinctive properties and uses. As a company that specializes in the wholesale and retail sale of metallurgical material, we offer a range of steels to cater to the diverse needs of our clients. In this blog post, we will delve into the different types of steels we offer and their respective characteristics and applications.

1. Low-Alloy Carbon Steels

Low-alloy carbon steels, also known as cauldron steel, are some of the most commonly used steels. These steels are primarily used in general mechanical engineering due to their high strength, toughness, and ductility. They offer great welding properties and are easy to form and machine.

2. Construction Materials

We offer a wide range of construction materials, specifically steels that are primarily used in general mechanical engineering. These steels are designed to withstand the heavy-duty nature of construction environments, owing to their durability, strength, and resistance to wear.

3. Nitriding Steels

Nitriding steels are those with low carbon content, also known as cementing steels. These steels undergo a process called nitriding, where nitrogen is introduced into the steel’s surface. This results in a highly wear-resistant surface, making it ideal for parts that require high resistance to wear and tear, like gears and camshafts.

4. Spring Steels

Spring steels are high carbon steels with a very high yield strength, making them able to return to their original shape despite significant deflection. They are commonly used in the manufacture of springs, hence the name.

5. High-Strength, Refractory and Heat-Resistant Materials

These materials are specifically designed to withstand high temperatures and have a high resistance to wear and tear. They are primarily used in the energy and heating industries, as well as in the petrochemical industry.

6. Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steels

Also known as stainless steels, these steels are alloyed with chrome and nickel, which enhances their corrosion resistance. They are widely used in environments where corrosion is a major concern, such as in the chemical industry, food preparation equipment, and medical instruments.

In conclusion, the diverse range of steels we offer is a testament to our commitment to cater to the varied needs of our customers. Each type of steel offers unique properties that make it suitable for specific applications. Whether you’re in general mechanical engineering, construction, or the energy industry, we have the right type of steel for you. Our expert team is always ready to provide you with basic material consultancy to help you choose the right steel for your needs.
