Manganese steel is a steel alloy that contains 12-14% manganese. Recognized for his high impact resistance and abrasion resistance in its hardened state, steel is often described as the ultimate work hardening steel. It is the most used alloy addition in the manufacture of steel and is present in practically all grades of steel. Manganese […]
The designation “Calm steel” (or sometimes also called “resting steel”), is a steel subjected to a deoxidizing treatment by adding manganese, silicon or aluminum before casting. The objective of this operation is to significantly reduce or completely eliminate the oxygen content of the steel so that no gas is formed during the subsequent solidification process. […]
As the name itself indicates, austenitic steel is a specific type of stainless steel alloy that has austenite. The austenitic is obtained by adding elements from austenite, such as nickel, nitrogen or manganese. Austenitic stainless steels constitute the family with the largest number of alloys available, integrating the 200 and 300 AISI series. Its main qualities […]
Rolled steel is the conversion of raw steel ingots from blast furnaces to different types of commercial profiles. There are two types of steel rolling processes. Hot rolled and cold rolled: Hot rolled: The hot rolling process consists of preheating the raw steel ingots to a temperature that allows the deformation of the ingots by […]
