Steel Applications

Steel Applications

STRUCTURAL STEEL APPLICATIONS :
Structural steel is used to construct residential and commercial buildings, warehouses, aircraft hangers, hospital and school buildings, metro stations, stadiums, bridges, anchors, bolts etc.

CARBON STEEL APPLICATIONS

  • Low Carbon Steel :
    Low carbon steels are often used in automobile body components, structural shapes (I-beams, channel and angle iron), pipes, construction and bridge components, and food cans.
  • Medium-carbon steel :
    As a result of their high strength, resistance to wear and toughness, medium-carbon steels are often used for railway tracks, train wheels, crankshafts, and gears and machinery parts requiring this combination of properties.
  • High-carbon steel :
    Due to their high wear-resistance and hardness, high-carbon steels are used in cutting tools, springs high strength wire and dies.

CASE HARDENING & TREATABLE STEEL APPLICATION :
Case hardening steel is used for automotive engineering also in mechanical and plant engineering for parts like bolts, cardan shafts, coupling parts and gears.
Treatable steel is used in automotive parts such as crankshafts, axle shafts, steering components, shafts in locomotive construction, shipbuilding and heavy engines parts for machine tools and general mechanical engineering turbine and generator shafts in power stations, components and accessories, for the oil and gas industry, fastening elements such as high strength bolts, landing gear and control elements in aviation, tools in oil and gas exploration.

FREE CUTTING STEEL APPLICATION : 
Machine tools and increasing production needs require steels particularly apt to machinability for shaving removal. This property is necessary mainly in productions where machines with fully-automatic control are used. 

  • The standard references :
    • UNI 10087: free cutting steels provided as hot rolled.
    • UNI 10277-3: free cutting steel bars provided as cold drawn.

SPRING STEEL APPLICATION :
Spring steel flat bars are widely used on auto fittings, auto manufacturing, hardware tools, chain manufacturing and other machinery manufacturing industry. Automobile plate spring.
