Steel is an alloy primarily composed of iron and varying amounts of carbon. Its exceptional strength, durability, and versatility make it a cornerstone in construction, manufacturing, and various industries. It comes in a variety of different forms, from carbon to stainless and alloy, each tailored to specific applications and known for their unique properties and characteristics
Cold Rolled
Cold-rolled steel, an extension of hot-rolled, undergoes cooling at room temperature and annealing or temper rolling. This process refines dimensional tolerances and yields a broader array of surface finishes. Cold-rolled boasts up to 20% greater strength than hot-rolled due to strength hardening. It’s favored for applications requiring precise dimensions and improved surface quality.
Galvanized
Galvanized steel, a form of standard steel, gains a protective zinc coating, bolstering its resistance to corrosion. This layer shields the underlying iron steel from moisture, environmental factors, and humidity-induced corrosion. The galvanizing process introduces a sacrificial layer, enhancing protection against rust-inducing elements and extending the longevity in challenging conditions.
Aluminumized
Aluminum is carbon steel coated with an aluminum-silicon alloy via hot-dipping, forging a robust metallurgical bond. This hybrid material harnesses the strength of steel and the beneficial surface properties of aluminum. It offers excellent formability, allowing for bending, folding, corrugation, and rolling without compromising structural integrity, making it a versatile choice for various applications.
Carbon
Carbon steel, composed mainly of iron and carbon, along with traces of other elements, is an affordable yet robust choice for construction and manufacturing. It ranks as the most commonly used steel grade, constituting 90% of global steel production. Carbon steel’s carbon content can range from 0.05% to as high as 2.5%, setting it apart from other types.
Cast
Cast is a versatile metal alloy created by melting iron and adding varying amounts of carbon, usually between 0.2% and 2.1%. It is then cast into molds to form different shapes and sizes, offering exceptional strength and versatility. Cast steel is a popular choice for numerous applications due to its durability and the ability to tailor its properties.
Custom Die Casted Manufacturing
Custom die-casted manufacturing is a precision process where molten metal is injected into a mold under high pressure, creating complex, detailed, and customizable parts. This method allows for the production of intricate components with excellent dimensional accuracy and surface finishes. Custom die-casted manufacturing is widely used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics.
