Special steels
A common way to classify steels is to refer to the current European standard EN10020, which classifies steels according to 7 main quality classes: Alloy steels Quality unalloyed steels Special unalloyed steels Stainless steels Other alloy steels Quality alloy steels Special alloy steels Steels with alloys whose objective is to achieve peculiar mechanical properties for […]
Refractory steels
Refractory steels are steels with low carbon and silicon content and high alloys: chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni). These steels have a very good behavior against corrosion (ideal for oxidizing environments) and also high resistance to high temperatures (up to 1000Cº). They are excellent for welding processes and furnace coatings. Industrial uses: industrial furnaces, cement, […]
Corten steel
Corten steel Corten Steel is a type of steel with a very characteristic orange appearance. The chemical composition of corten steel allows its oxidation to have specific characteristics that protect the pieces made with this material from corrosion caused by being exposed to the weather, ensuring that its mechanical characteristics are not lost and giving it […]
Carbon Steel
Carbon steel, as the name implies, is a type of steel that is alloyed with carbon in proportions of less than 2% carbon. This type of steel is also referred to as construction steel. It is estimated that 90% of global steel production belongs to this type of steel. There are several types of carbon […]
