Rolled steel
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 […]
Galvanized
The galvanized flame or galvanization to the process by which a metallic layer is applied on another different metal using an electric current. The concept of galvanizing comes from the Italian scientist Luigi Galvani (1737-1798) who discovered that when an electrical current is applied to a muscle of a dead animal, it undergoes a contraction. […]
Ballistic steels
Ballistic steel or also other names such as: armored steel, protection steel or “bulletproof” steel is as its name indicates, a steel that offers superior protection to other common steels against external threats in the form of projectiles or violent impacts. In general, ballistic steels are defined by their hardness, which in most cases is […]
Mining steels
Mining steels also called anti-abrasive steels are special steels used in the mining sector (with anti-wear and anti-abrasive properties, AR for its acronym in English, Abrasion Resistant). Brinell hardness tables for these steels range from 360/440 Hb to 450/540 Hb onwards. Anti-abrasion The wear of metals by abrasion occurs when the hard roughnesses of different […]
