Glossary of terms

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 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, 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 […]

Spring steel or also called spring steel it is a type of high flexibility steel that is frequently used for elements that recover their previous state after undergoing deformation (for example springs or leaf springs). Its carbon composition is between an average content of 0.4-0.95%. These are steels with high resistance to pressure and are also […]
