The engineering industry is heavily dependant on steel and finds use in a vast range of applications from shipbuilding, the automotive industry, architecture and machinery building. Almost any product application uses steel at some point. Click on an image below to view our material grades.
Steel is an alloy of iron that contains a small amount of carbon, much less than cast iron and usually less than 1.7%.
In general the tightly controlled carbon content determines how easily the steel can be hardened by heat treatments. Other alloying elements such as nickel or chromium can also be added to steel to create a wide variety of desirable characteristics.
